I'm at my parents' for christmas, so I'm taking the opportunity to go through a bunch of old computers to image all the drives for future nostalgia purposes so far the only casualty has been one half of an external SCSI drive, which didn't spin up

Hed posted:I was going off memory and got it wrong. there were 80 pin connectors but I’m talking about the HD68 connector: these are good. i like that they were used from like 20MB/s SCSI2 all the way through U320 i also like that the external connector for SCSI2 is that same connector but with thumb screws, so if you don't have the right cable you can just stick an internal cable onto the back of the computer i don't like how tightly they grip, though. you have to put so much force into mating/demating that it always makes me paranoid about bending pins full-size external SCSI1 centronics, now there is a gentleman's connector
