Lately, there has been alot of usenet messages regarding the Connor CP340 40MB 3.5" SCSI harddrive. I would like to know where I can get this drive cheaply? Also, what people think of it's performance under AmigaDOS? I am thinking of making a hardcard (SupraWORDSYNC) out of this drive and use my SyQuest44 as a secondary/backup drive. Any problems using this combination? What sort of SCSI cable is needed to attach 2 harddrives to SupraWORDSYNC or any other SCSI controller for that matter? Please post a public message if you're going to reply to this message. Thanks! ******************************************************************** * "I believe in a God which doesn't need heavy financing.", Fletch * * Ramanjeet Singh Anand * * CIS: 73767,2161 VANCOUVER * * USENET: a72@mindlink.uucp BEAUTIFUL BRITISH COLUMBIA * ********************************************************************

Supra's WORDSYNC controller can use either the Mac's DB-25 connector for an external drive but I forgot which sex... [just a sec' while I check it's genes :-] Ah, it's a female DB-25 connector attached to the metal card guide. This connector attaches to a 26-pin dual-inline header on the controller board. Also on the controller board is a `standard' 50-pin dual-inline header if your SCSI disk uses the 50-pin connectors (like the Quantum Q40). I've had the WORDSYNC running on my A1000 Zorro ONE expansion box for several months now with *NO* problems whatsoever. Maybe I've been lucky? :-) -Rusty- -- Rusty Haddock o {uunet,att,rutgers}!mimsy.umd.edu!fe2o3!rusty Laurel, Maryland o "IBM sucks silicon!" -- PC Banana Jr, "Bloom County"
