Re: [emax] A couple of zip-drive related questions

2009-08-15 by Daniel Baum

Hi,

Would any other bits and pieces (interfaces etc.) be necessary to get them working?

D.





    A little of a side note. I just won a lot of 10 used CF drives on ebay.
  Assuming they work with Emax, I will be selling them for much less than
  $200.
  They may be single slot use only, but they are SCSI.
  I will be testing them in Emax once I get them and will give more details
  later.
  If they are single slot, I will sell them for $25. If multiple slots work I
  will sell them for $40.

  I will be keeping 1 for sure, but will resell the other 9 once confirmed
  they work in Emax.

  So, if they work (crossed fingers), those of you wanting to buy SCSI kits
  but who have been hesitant due to, where do I get a drive?
  Next couple of weeks or so you may be lucky!

  If people have been thinking of purchasing other drives, you may wish to
  wait a week or two....

  again I will keep you posted.

  PS- I saw a multiple slot multitech for $60 buy it now on ebay. Somebody
  should nab it..... I considered it.

  Regards,
  Ted
