1309 -
130901 - Follow up ref SDS 14 0000, ref SDS 12 0000.
130902 -
130903 - Talked to Suzanne.
130904 -
130905 - Explained having visited Fry's in Fremont yesterday, and they are
130906 - only selling the Adaptec 29160 for $350.
130907 -
130908 - Suzanne said the Adaptec SCSI adapter model 19160 is adequate for our
130909 - system, shown in the invoice, ref DRP 1 0055, reported in the record
130910 - for 010202, ref SDS 6 7425, and that Adaptec will support it for the
130911 - duration of the 5 year warranty.
130912 - ..
130913 - Therefore purchased the Adaptec 19160 card "bare" for $156, per
130914 - the record on 011005, ref SDS 14 I19O, and telecon with Morris on
130915 - 011006. ref SDS 15 OW6N
130916 -
130917 - Shipping is $14 for next day air.  We will get the adapter on
130918 - Wednesday, 011010.  Total cost;  $170.

130923 -
130924 - Suzanne said the Adaptec 19160 supports both the 50 pin and the 68 pin
130925 - SCSI 1 and 2 technology.
130926 -
130927 - Therefore, the cable we already have is adequate, and so purchasing
130928 - the "bare" unit is sufficient. ref SDS 14 I19O
130929 -
130930 -    Used First USA credit card.... 2957
130931 - ..
130932 - We briefly reviewed the Exabyte instructions for terminating the
130933 - SCSI bus shown in the record on 000811. ref SDS 3 JDKI  Suzzane
130934 - advised that the tape drive should have jumper switches for
130935 - terminating the SCSI bus, similar to those used to assign the ID.
130936 - Since the record on 000811 shows that the Exabyte tape drive did not
130937 - have this capability, ref SDS 3 DT8I, Suzanne suggests contacting
130938 - Exabyte to verify their instructions.
130939 -
130940 - Suzanne will send an email to confirm the transaction.
