I may be mistaken, but I believe that all of the 2300c computers have an IDE drive, and therefore an IDE cable. The motherboard has a connector for SCSI, and machines that started their lives as a 230 would have an SCSI drive. So, you might want to check if your drive is SCSI or IDE. On the other hand, now that I think of it, the original 2300c had a 750MB drive if memory serves. Which would mean that yours with a 320 MB drive must have been upgraded, from a 280 perhaps? Then you would be right, and would need the cable. DTL --On Tuesday, May 1, 2001 8:26 AM -0400 Joe Getchel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all.
