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?
