I saw some really cheap 9.1 GB 7200 rpm drives > on Ebay, but their only 40 pin. Are they SCSI? The only 40 pin SCSI drives I've seen are laptop drives, and I haven't seen any of those over 1GB. IDE is 40 pin, and bootable IDE PCI cards are available. If they are some weird SCSI, you could probably find an adapter somewhere-- but it would probably bump up the price considerably. One more thing, if it is a 40 pin SCSI, I wouldn't expect the throughput to be very good. With fewer than 50 pins, there's bound to be some shared ground thing- the way that external Mac SCSI gets to 25 pins- and it would probably not work at fast SCSI speed. -- Dana [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
