 %My last inspection of the power connector on my UNIX-pc seems to have
 %the same problem,

This is why I ordered a replacement 3b1 power supply form AT&T for my
7300. The problem is that when using the power strap that goes
directly from the power supply to the disk ... It must have a bad
connection because if i jiggle the wires to the disk power the disk
dies. I've had to reconnect the mother board power strap untill I can
get this ironed out the additional load of the disk on the power to
the mother board has recreated the wavy screen problem that my
other(7300) power supply had. 

PS. Is it possible to get one of those connecters the ribbon strap to the
planer board and replace the existing one _without_ doing any
soldering?

PPS. does any one have a status report on the possible SCSI interface?
