this can't be right?

[jer22]

just pulled apart a system a buddy brought over and found a seagate 151506 hd. didn't know they had 7200 rpm 4.29 gig hds in 97. also he just wants to pirate the cdrom(which is scsi) to his other system. i don't know what the other system is so if he doesn't have a scsi connector i just put a card in, right? i'm sure his other system is pretty old, so i was wondering if there were any tips on configuring a scsi cd. i've only dealt with ide stuff. lmk, jer

Correct. Just make sure the card has the correct number of pins.

thanks minendo, 50 pin is the standard isn't it? i think that's what this one is.btw, do you know anybody that has any use for 64 meg of edo matched in 6 rows? and then there's another stick off to the side.i think it's memory but there's only one. what's up with that? jer

50-pin is standard for a 'non-wide' device. (SCSI, SCSI-2, Ultra-SCSI) 68-pin is standard for wide devices (Fast-Wide, Ultra-Wide, Ultra2, Ultra160). Most CD's are standard 50-pin connectors but there are a few with 68-pin 'wide' interfaces.

That memory card off by itself is probably the L2 cache. For a while they were modual based for ease in upgrading.
