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

I found a stack of old 2940 and 3940 scsi controllers at my folks this holiday...

the great connector feel of the 80 pin SE cable

I was going off memory and got it wrong. there were 80 pin connectors but I’m talking about the HD68 connector:



I can feel it in my hands

edit: to fix the pic

full-size external SCSI1 centronics, now there is a gentleman's connector

hell yeah. Had a tape backup with that.

Also we had a couple Zip!Plusses that could use the DB-25 SCSI or parallel depending on what you plugged them in to. 100MB! in the palm of your hand!
