      From: steffen@udolph.com              Hi Rick,              yup, shipping is cost prohibitive over the pond. But the DPES-31080 is       also available here. Currently, there is a DSAS-3540 in my P75. However,       it is not recognized. When I boot from the reference disk, it finds the       SCSI adapter, but when I go to the SCSI configuration page, I get a       message that the adapter is not available. A new autoconfiguration does       not change anything. The hard disk is terminated, the 3 term packs are       set on the mainboard, but no terminator is connected to the external       port. Could this be the problem?              And maybe I get a late Christmas Present from Peter:-)       Cheers/2       SteffenWolf                     On 23.01.2025 19:19, Rick Ekblaw wrote:       > Peter, if you don't find the cable, I do have a spare 33F4606 sitting in       > my SCSI cable tote.
