No dumb questions...but this may be a dumb effort.

Just want to test the viability of converting SCSI external hard drive boxes.

Guess I'm tripping over the leading edge. I though USB 2.0 was here. Maybe firewire?

Snuff. Yeah. Just use your SCSI Externals as they are. smile.gif

Maybe something like this would be fun to tinker with?

I've seen three different ones so far and two were horrendous.

The third showed a girl of maybe 12 singing sweetly to a song and then giggling. That one was nice.

I have that exact box but in centronics 50 SCSI. That was the point.
 Maybe I'll get this one.

Well, I've avoided this topic, because, well, I was afraid that I didn't just feel  dumb, but the worst case scenario.  Now Diana, has cleared it up for me:

See?  What a relief!  But durn if this place doesn't make me feel just a bit backward.  Well, the truth is, I don't understand a teeny tiny fraction of what is written here.  Now, I'm telling y'all this in confidence,  because I trust my extended TS family, so don't anybody give away my deep dark secret.

The 'attitude' comment is the key! clap.gif There definitely are sites that will get you the answer but make you 'pay' for it with lost civility.

BTW, didn't I just see a post from Francine?! Where you been? What you been doin'? How're things in NY?! (I think!) wallbash.gif Made any of them ferin' trips?!

I just feel dumb when my wife still can remember the difference between Quiting a program and closing its windows! And she has never worked with a PC, so it's not that shutdown box on their windows. I just can't think of any more analogies/instructions/examples/demonstraions/menu checks/tear off menus/etc to help her! If she would just visit here a little, I'll bet she would find some one with the right words... thumbup.gif

ABD, try this on your wife:

Tell her to imagine she has started up the car. (Opens application)
Then she turns the radio on (one window open).
She turns on the lights (second window).
...then the windshield wipers (third window).

She can have all these windows open and do various things with them but turning them off does not stop the car from running. You have to do that separately.

smile.gif

There may be some clues that it is still running like noise or water vapor from tailpipe as there are clues with a program (icon in dock or app switcher, different menu, etc.)

(And if there weren't a battery for power, turning off the car would turn off (close) those windows, too.)
