I also have read this somewhere on an e-mail list but never heard this as fact. If you use the shorter IDE cable, it will not reach. I used the longer cable for another IDE hard drive but didn't use it for a real long time but it seemed to work OK. I acquired a 20 gig SCSI HD and didn't need the IDE drive. I now use it to connect a Master/slave CDROM/CDRW but I have removed the case to do so. But it works fine and have not had trouble with it. ===== __________________________________________ alternate e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sig: Specs: Beige G3 DT/466mhz, OS 9.2.2 & 10.2 __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
