[Techtoolslist] FLUKE 9100A SCSI to CF Adapter - Success with Stratos CF AZTECMONSTER

[Andrew Welburn]

This is quite funny... These things have only appeared on the market in the last year tops! 

I'm going to get one to play with at least, but it does mean a much easier way of keeping the 9100 going. The PCMCIA scsi cf adapter that martin and I used on our flukes is next to impossible to find, but was the only choice for a long time!

There were multiple listings for the board on ebay yesterday but it appears each had multiple bidders and closed above the starting price.
