Search the archives for Shai Hess. He was developing a PC based disk product that I think he hopes to market some day. I don't recall how it physically attached.

Good Luck. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
