For all you IT people

Is it possible to get a SCSI to COM port converter? Or even SCSI to USB?

f**king new server that came in doesn't have a SCSI port and I don't have time to order a SCSI card...

Need it for a bullshit tape drive.

Nope. Not a chance. (I wish - it'd be much cheaper)

Are you after a std 50 pin card or something that needs 68 pin lvd?

-D

[CRoNic...]

Apparently it does exist:

Just trying to find it will be the issue.

Yeah 50 pin.

Apparently SCSI is now an out-dated technology :| gee I'm behind with the times then.

I can imagine you'd have a number of issues with a USB SCSI converter - both in terms of performance (depending, USB2 will max out at between 30-60MB/s) , and in all likelihood the tape drive will require LVD SCSI (most tape drives do) - which I don't think you're going to find a USB SCSI converter supporting (or at least at a reasonable cost)

What sort of server is it? Reasonably recent? PCI/PCI-X/PCIe?

And yeah - Plain ol' SCSI is just about dead really - SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) is pretty much what everything server-grade comes with these days.

Grrr. It hasnt. Just screwed the format of my current one.

[Nightcrawler]

You don't have to do a new post for your avatar to update fyi - just go find one of your old threads/posts - they all update.

[ontheranch]

Its not working, i was sure it updated all the old ones but i was just checking.

[ontheranch]

The picture I changed it to shows up when I go onto avatar settings, it just isnt in my posts...

[Nightcrawler]

It changed to a cross eyed smiley-face when I last updated, but is back to your "Wrecks" now

[ontheranch]

Its all good now I think, the new pic is up. I did a trial with the Smily. Haha

Brand new Dell - PCIe compatible from the top of my head.

I might have to shop around for a card...

yep, motor reg are the guys to call. i have access to TRUMPS at work, but its the "lite" version and unfortunately is read only, and does not show demerit... so dont even ask me to sort out ur demerit points

[Weezy]

Can you get me my points back .

Where do you actually work and job description lol?

Great looking cars, shame the place would have sounded like a world cup match.
