Sounds like you had the same bull crap luck I had with my internal SCSI cable in a PLUS adventure, It's ok because mcdermd to the rescue, my plus was a upgraded 128k anyways. We're going to do a trade, in return he is hooking me up with a Very Nifty 128k board, I am going to rig up some dip switches to it, So I can toggle back and forth between 128ke and 512ke. Also is including a Macintosh Rear, So i'm putting it back to the way it was anyways, He's is hooking me up with a PLAT Plus aswell, so I can still have a working plus in my collection
