Sorry, no. The AV is plugged into the motherboard to a connector the 9xxx units lack. >2) Which of the four towers will hold the most internal hard drives, cd roms, >etc. The 8600 and 9600 can hold the following: 1 internal 3.5x1 above the PS, the floppy can be replaced with a 3.5x1, has 3 half height 5.25 inch bays, and can be equiped with a carrier in the bottom for 2 more 3.5x1 HD's. In the 9600's use of the bottom bay blocks the use of 3 of the PCI slots. >3) What's the fastest factory processor in one of those 4 towers that will >work in the 7600? (I.E. Can I take the 9600/300 card out and put it in the >7600?) There are two types of cards from the 9600's. The 8600/250 and 300 and the 9600/300 and 350 are known as MachV systems, and the CPU cards from them will not work in the other machines in the series. >4) Anybody know of any websites where I can see good pictures of what the >inside of each of these towers looks like? >5) Anyone know where I can get the plastic thingy (on/off button) that you >push in the front of the 7600, attached to the metal frame? >6) Anybody gotten a SCSI U160 drive to work on the built in SCSI bus? -- -- Mr. PopMan - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - "Does anybody want to play a game of pinball?" You have to recognize that every out-front maneuver you make is going to be lonely. But if you feel entirely comfortable, then you are not far enough ahead to do any good.
