[Hallo the line eater!]

I need some help with the C Ltd. A1000 SCSI Interface.

I bought the above interface with a C Ltd. Hard Disk, second hand, intending
to use both on my A1000 with a MAST 2Mb MiniMegs.  The MAST memory module
doesn't have a pass through connector (el cheapo) but the SCSI interface was
supposed to, and I didn't think to examine it too closely until after getting
it.

The pass-through connector on the SCSI interface is female, meaning that I
cannot connect the memory board (also female connector) to the expansion bus
through the SCSI interface.

The C Ltd. manual states that the company would provide the correct connector
for $20.00.  I've called around, but no dealers seem to still have this part
in stock.

I tried to fix up a straight pass-thru male-to-male connector, but this
results in random gurus.

I would like help from someone who still has a C Ltd. SCSI interface AND has
received this connector thingy from C Ltd.  Could you tell me what connections
are being made? (ie: All pins connected straight thru? or are there shorts
and/or unconnected pins?)  Even better . . . would someone like to sell me
this connector? (Make a profit on your $20!)

The RAM board and the SCSI interface work fine individually.  Does anyone know
if the power supply on the A1000 can support 16 1Mbit simms as well as a SCSI
connector? Maybe my problem is not enough power.

Thanks a lot for any help.

- Harshy.
