Who needs the A-Team or MacGyver when there's a techie with an SCSI cable?

Re: Lonely machine needing company before it would work

I had it the other way around with a network cable where the center and the outer shell would short whenever someone walked atop the cable gutter.

As for Frankenservers, I had to build one when the only available hardware wasn't having a power supply big enough to also give juice to the disk cabinet. I has been running for a few weeks waiting for the actual replacement server to arrive. And yes, this was SCSI as well.
