I have a friend, Stewart Franks who lives near Hereford (Eardisley) who is tearing their hair out trying to solve a technical problem.

Last year he had virtually nver touched a computer. After a visit to Africa with 'Hands Around the World' to build a school/centre for homeless children and to teach them new skills, on his return decided to try to take some positive action to help.

Local companies donated a number of 'old' systems which were either redundant technology or had just been replaced with newer kit which are going to be sent to the missionary at Kisumu in Kenya.

This is where I come in. As a Systems Analyst for a major financial organisation I have done the best I can in helping to sort out these systems. Subsequently, Stewarts and my own learning curve have rocketed in many respects.

However, we still have at least two systems that have SCSI on board as opposed to IDE (All the IDE ones we have reformatted and reconfigured). My own knowledge of SCSI is unfortunately, nill - and Stewart can supply all the technical details of termination, boa rds, cards etc He can be e-mailed at stewart.omundi@tesco.net or his phone contact is 01544 327 918. can you or anyone help him??????

Regards,

Ed Deasey.
