OOh...is that Reno drive the size of a regular portable CD player, roughly 5 1/2" square? If so, you're missing the battery compartment which makes the whole thing about 4" deeper. This has the actual HD 50 SCSI connectors on the back of it, along with the ID switch and terminator dipswitch (inside the compartment). You need both parts to use it as a CD drive. It'll work as a CD player the way it is, with an AC adapter, but not as a drive. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
