Tiny jumpers?

[man_utd]

I went and installed my scsi drive today, and to my dismay, of course it did not work as planned. It seems, that this drive requires mini jumpers, because a regular jumper is just too big. Anyone know of a quick fix for this problem?

wrap small wires like used for a pin mod around the pins instead of a jumper, or solder wires in.

Soldering wires in is easier said then done, especially when I would have to be doing it free hand. Small wires might work though.

Maybe wrap the wires and use some heatshrink to keep it in place.

What I have done before for something similar is take the metal out of a normal jumper and cut and bend it to make a smaller one. The metal will hold its shape and is already meant for jumper use.

Ya, I was thinking about doing that, but tomorrow I will go store hopping and see if anyone else has one. Can't believe the guy took 2 cents of jumpers off a 120 dollar rive...

Aluminum foil.

Now that sounds like an idea...
