Prosignia 500

RE: Prosignia 500

Parts should be available through VARs and Compaq a well as on the "Scrap" market. The box is an EISA or PCI box and should be able to use new as well as vintage parts. SCSI cables and compatible drives are a problem only on the built in SCSI due to the age of the box. Using a newer SCSI card (UW-2 but not a 3 as it won't be able to register as more than a 2) should make finding drives and cables easier. Compaq supplies BIOS upgrades (ROMPAQs) and drivers (Softpaqs) on their website. Memory is available from lots of vendors like PNY and Compaq. Compatibility can be devined from reading the tech specs available on Compaq's support site.
