Sorry for my late reply, I've got an extra SCSI harddrive installed there. Works great and I can boot the mac with it SOLO without the one from the PCI card, at first this was my primary drive since the original drive that came with the computer was bad and I had to return it. You will need the appropriate 50-pin cable though. Liliana Pubill Philadelphia PA -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
