I tried the usual places (Archive.org, Retromags) but it looks like they're really respecting the publisher and its right to resell back issues. As for Circuit Cellar itself, they only currently offer back to issue 073 (so close!): http://www.cc-webshop.com/PDF-Issues_c51.htm Oh well, there's plenty …

Exactly. chrisNova777 could work out the *exact* pinouts for his Startech PLATE6F but so long as they keep selling them, they will be wired differently from each other. I bet in 100 PLATE6F's you buy online, since resellers these days are pulling from new-old stock, you'd get at least three …

I know a good number of you are not native English speakers, but thankfully you try your best, or else otherwise we would not be able to read and moderate your awesome posts (and therefore posting in other languages is pretty much forbidden).

Hah, I helped sell Startech products as a reseller back in the day, and they never had what I would call decent reliable info on any of their products - maybe the big ticket items but not little twitchy adapters such as these. i mean these plate6f devices must have been made specifically for some …

Hah - I've thought about doing something . The problem is that this is kind of a niche hobby. If all the VOGONS members lived locally here, then maybe it would make more sense. Uhmmm.... Let's found "The international museum of Vogons" then. :lol: That's actually not a bad idea. I know some members …

I am pretty sure some member of ArchiveTeam nabbed the Abit FTP before it went down and posted it to Archive.org, in case that helps. Don't have the link at the moment but ... pretty sure it's there and that we've all even talked about that fact before...
