Just an update: It looks like there may be enough interested people to make a group buy actually happen. I have orders for 12 connectors now (not counting mine). We still need at least 6 more to reach the minimum order (I think I can account for two if it comes down to that). I think I'll wait until next Wednesday (Feb. 14 - Valentine's Day) before I either start collecting checks or give up on the deal. Those of you who said you might get an extra one, please consider it, we might need it to make the minimum order. Below is the list of names and quantities that I have received requests from. If your name does not appear below and you sent me some mail, please try again; I haven't gotten it as of 2/6/90 21:21. This is my "official" list, so if something isn't right, be sure to let me know! Steve Barber steveb@shade.ann-arbor.mi.us Q: 1(+) Frank Pedroni pacbell!fdp Q: 2 Howard E.

I'll say again that if we don't get enough orders, I won't be able to get a connector, hence I won't be able to work on that SCSI card. So you *could* be doing a great service to the UNIX PC community by buying one! [Okay, I'll stop already. :-) ] (Disclaimer: the SCSI board is vaporware right now, and despite the best of intentions it might still never happen.) -- --**-Steve Barber----steveb@shade.Ann-Arbor.MI.US----(cmode)-------------------
