Hi Steve,
Of course, back in 1997-99, the beige G3 was the
hottest thing next to the iMac!
But still today, I can use both internal/external 50
pin
SCSI drives and one EIDE internal. What bothers me is
rumors of data corruption on big EIDE drives in Rev.1
desktops..anybody care to comment (especially on the
size threshold for data corruption)?

(Newfie jokes? I've seen some pretty good comedy on TV
from the Halifax Comedy Festival or similar. Newfies
are
probably too busy counting their 'newfound' riches!)
