For all you IT people

Is it possible to get a SCSI to COM port converter? Or even SCSI to USB?

f**king new server that came in doesn't have a SCSI port and I don't have time to order a SCSI card...

Need it for a bullshit tape drive.

Nope. Not a chance. (I wish - it'd be much cheaper)

Are you after a std 50 pin card or something that needs 68 pin lvd?

I can imagine you'd have a number of issues with a USB SCSI converter - both in terms of performance (depending, USB2 will max out at between 30-60MB/s) , and in all likelihood the tape drive will require LVD SCSI (most tape drives do) - which I don't think you're going to find a USB SCSI converter supporting (or at least at a reasonable cost)

What sort of server is it? Reasonably recent? PCI/PCI-X/PCIe?

And yeah - Plain ol' SCSI is just about dead really - SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) is pretty much what everything server-grade comes with these days.

Brand new Dell - PCIe compatible from the top of my head.

I might have to shop around for a card...

Ring ServiceSA brother. They'll have all the information.

yep, motor reg are the guys to call. i have access to TRUMPS at work, but its the "lite" version and unfortunately is read only, and does not show demerit... so dont even ask me to sort out ur demerit points :)

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
