(TD-4) (two host adaptors) There's only one Multia (of two), the DEC 3000, the game console (AMD K6), the Powerbook 520 (with a 540 cpu card ^_^), the DECpc 466mumble, and the Toshiba laptop I'm paying too much for actually connected right now. (Four host adaptors on the net, one being a paperweight) There's another three SCSI hosts in the three sun boxen (ipc, ipx, and lx), the mac se counts 'cause I got it to power-on, as do the VaxStation3100 and the DECpc 433 workstation; the VS2000 might count; it makes noise when powered on and may do something; I can't tell since I have no semblance of a console cable for it. (six, possibly seven more.) The DECStations don't count, since they're dead. The VS4000 may or may not count, since I haven't tested it yet. Grief; I've just come to the conclusion that I have almost as many functioning SCSI host adaptors as I do SCSI disks ^_^ Anybody need Sun keyboards? A Mac Plus with trackball (probably dead)? An Alpha UDB/Multia? I'd be happy to trade them for old/new DEC stuffs . . . Suika (who would like to have a pdp-11, but doesn't have a clue as to where to start.) -- ###### From: "Carl R.
