got a nice case I'll be using for new build but also got an old mac I
want to zero-out and put Linux on.

I need any old working (Ext.) SCSI CD-burner that's working to copy my
Mac stuff onto. Either 68-pin Ultra-Narrow or the older Mac SCSI
connector okay. Have had some bad eqp from Ebay so thought someone here
might want to sell one or trade for stuff. I have various new
electronics components and a few other usable items.

Just to make my post somewhat legitimate, how advisable is it to replace
filter caps on these multi-layer boards? Is a 600 degree soldering tip
right? The FIC SD-11 board I have laying around will function for a
messaround platform for BSD and Solaris--not worried about messing this
one up but I'd really like to throw in some nice high-temp caps to
replace the originals. Thx

Maybe this AEC-7720U Ultra SCSI-IDE bridge, could convert an IDE burner, to
a SCSI burner ?

For soldering, it is as much the heat capacity in watts as anything else.
The solid copper planes where the capacitors are soldered into place,
tend to soak up all the heat. The soldering iron tip does not stay at 600
degrees for very long, when the copper planes drain the heat. Soldering
stations with controlled tip temperature (demand heating) will respond
better to the load, than your typical Radio Shack soldering iron. Or
find yourself a much higher power iron. The biggest one I currently own
is 80W or so. The biggest iron I've ever worked with was 200W, but that
was for soldering sheet metal :-)

Hi Paul, Thanks for the info. I see they even have a 68-pin version of
that adapter. I'll have to compare prices of older IDE drives with (any
remaining) SCSI drives. As for the board soldering, I do have a decent
Weller soldering station. Just wasn't sure whether I was likely to
damage the foil with my setup and the 600-deg tip. Best, OSB
