- Hi,
- I have been offered a Quantum 105MB HD for a great price, and I am
- inclined to take the offer. At the moment I have a bog-standard
- 2.04 A1500. I was planning (in about three/four months) to buy a GVP
- 030 Combo Board, which has a SCSI controller built in. However, my
- resources don't stretch that far right now.
-
- My problem is, should I buy a cheap SCSI controller now, so I can use
- the HD immediately, then get rid of it in a few months when I can afford
- the GVP Combo unit, or should I buy the HD, hold out for a few months
- without using it and then just buy the GVP?
-
- Please help, as I don't know what to do. I shall provide the serial
- numbers of the HD to help all you gurus advise me what controller to
- get. It is a Quantum ProDrive, and the numbers alongside the two
- bar-codes (on the top) are:
- 0005181-8932002116
- 3701200-06
- There are also numerous other numbers which I might as well throw in
- too:
- 105S
- 910-10-9403
- 10907240205
- 0099
-
- It has a 50-way (SCSI) cable & plug, and a four-way (power?) plug.
- Any ideas about controllers, or if anyone has one to sell, please
- mail me. BTW, the cheapest controller I can find in the UK is
- the 'Dataflyer', for about 60 pounds Sterling, thats about
- $90/100 (US). Is this good? Or is it a dud?
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
