SCSI CF drives on ebay.

2009-08-18 by Ted Summers

Folks-

Looks like the seller is auctioning another lot of 10 of these SCM PCD-50B
model and also singles for $15 +15 shipping.

Not bad for the group, but I would recommend waiting until I test this model
out before everyone jumps onto buying these.

They may need jumpering, proper termination resistors, or may not work at
all.
The description says you need three SCSI ID's to use the drive (not a
problem on Emax), but the Manufacturer PDF says these have firmware to use
LUN's not Targets, so 3 SCSI ID's would not be indicated in that event. In
SCSI terminology, LUN's are children of a parent SCSI ID (ie the target).
Which is why multiple slots may not work. Emax doesn't know about LUN
numbers.

I will have to test one to know for sure.

I may also look into whether there are different firmwares that may be able
to flash the drive to multiple slots (each slot a different ID).
 I will let you all know when I get mine how it turns out. I should know
by Saturday as I expect them to arrive on Thursday or Friday.

Know also, that all units I sell will be tested in an Emax before I ship
them, assuming they work.

I will keep you all posted.

Regards,
Ted
