#Help!
Michael,
"Plug and go" you say? I haven't stopped laughing (or is it crying?).
Didn't you forget parity, ARBT & test settings? Leave as is? How do big
hands get tiny little jumpers out and onto other teeny pins? I made a dumb
mistake and ordered terminator packs for the CD drive and he installed
them, only I can't figure out if the funny blue bars with pins coming out
of them are the terminators and can I just pull them out of the green card
that they are in which is in back of the 50 pin male (real pins) connector.
(OK, teckies, stop laughing).
Inside the case in was a ribbon cable with a 50 pin female connector (I
would call it centronics style) at either end (2 in all) and 2 50 pin black
plastic female connectors at intervals on the cable. I see the back of the
CD ROM drive & tape drive have 50 pin male plugs (real pins), a match I
guess. I imagine I can match up all the other cute plugs & receptacles <g>.
You said your ribbon cable had two 50 pin connectors at one and an Amiga
SCSI 25 pin connector at the other. They also sent a regular cable with a
50 pin (centronics style) male end and a 25 pin male (SCSI?) at the other.
I have the feeling these are wrong.
Do you punch out one of the the back indents so you can plug in cable? With
what, a sledge hammer? I guess girls like to know EXACTLY what they're
doing and boys like to take a chance.
