With all this talk of SCSI ID's, I just recalled a question that I have not found an answer to... Where can I get the little shunts used to set the jumper blocks on my Conner 105 meg hard disk? The pin spacing on the jumper block is incredibly small, and is NOT the same size as this pile of jumpers I have from some old 5 1/4" 360K floppy drives. I've looked all over creation locally, and even called Hard Drives International (from whom I purchased the drive) to see if they had them. They assured me the shunts are a 'common item'. Well, they aren't here in Mpls/St. Paul. In the meantime, I've made the jumper work, but would really like to get the proper sized shunt on there for when I move the 105 inside my SE/30. Any ideas? Is Conner out there on the net? .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | UUCP: {crash tcnet}!orbit!pnet51!pj | RTFD = Read The Silly Doc! | | INET: pj@pnet51.orb.mn.org | | `-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'

Everytime some takes a stock mac and replaces the internal drive with a bigger one (usually a quantum 105), they will want to keep the old drive as an external. However since the internal drive is normally a low number (0) and since many drives use OPEN jumpers for 0, there is NOTHING to rearrange to get the higher SCSI address :-) I have only seen the two different sizes of jumpers. I suspect the dinky ones that you are talking about are the same as those used in other drives (eg. the Miniscribes originally installed in the old 20 Meg macs). Have you tried talking to an Apple Dealer (with the service room in the back :-) into "selling" you 2 or 3? Usually they have just given them to me since they usually had them.
