Western Railroad Discussion > IT Professionals - Adaptec 29160 card needed

I almost have enough spare parts on hand to build a 3rd server for Trainorders. I want to migrate the database server onto its own box as the evening traffic has been slamming the main server.

However, I am in need of an Adaptec 29160 controller card. Are there any trainorders.com members out there who work in the IT field that might have any of these cards laying around after migrating to Ultra320? At this time I am willing to pay $50 for such a card. I know that new they are going for $200, but I hate to spend that much when later this year I plan to migrate to Ultra320 myself.

Todd,

did you check out http://www.pricewatch.com to see if anyone there might either have the genuine article Adaptec or a "generic" equivalent at a reasonable price?

I think Pomona swap meet is coming up weekend after this.

good luck in your search,

Daniel

Todd, I have a couple of cars in the office.

I will e-mail you Friday morning what they are, as I do not remember right now.

I have a friend who has the card you desire. Unfortunatly, you banned his Trainorders.com account. There goes that idea.

Cya down the line!
