I echo "OM's" recommendation that you should use an enclosure. SCSI Disk Mode is interesting, but very slow. 10bT ethernet is probably faster than SDM - just make sure you find one of those Focus Enhancements 10baseT ethernet PDS cards to install internally in your 190.

On the other hand, you could track down one of those elusive expansion bay hard disk carriers (which work in the 190, 5300, 3400c, and Kanga G3), pull the 40GB out of the 190 and put it in the carrier, and boot your 190 from the expansion bay. Then, when you want to move your hard drive to it's USB or FireWire enclosure for quick eMac backups, you don't have to tear down the 190 over and over again...

Peace,
Drew
