So I paid out the ass to get this card reader from DJ Chief and I get it and it doesn't have any power supply or cord and it's not a type of SCSI plug I recognize...obviously it's meant to go inside of a PC but it's obviously not going to....

Any help would be appreciated, I think there was a place that sold cases for this type of deal right?

thanks yall

I had to change the power connector (the zip uses a floppy drive power connector, the PCD25 uses a the legacy scsi power connector).


fantom27 stated that in his post in the above link. It may be your problem. Ask him and he may be able to help.

you can install it inside (replace your floppy drive) the same as you can with a zip drive. see here -

http://www.mpc3000.com/zip_install.htm

but you need a external-internal convertor and a 25pin male-25pin male gender changer (again see above link)

this what i plan to do this friday

..or there are external cases you can get to mount it in.

i'm sure someone will jump in and correct me if i'm wrong on any of this. but i'll guess i'll find out for myself soon enough :wink:

word up, I really just want it external

I'll look for cases soon, just dunno what to look for

talked to scsi for samplers guy and he helped me out a bit

sooooo the search is on

i tinks DJ Chief knows. haven't discussed it with him myself, but i'm sure some said he recommended them a case for it.
