Thank you, Daniel, for the information! While I've added RAM, R&R'd a CD-Rom and a PRAM battery ~ this is a new challenge. Will ask at LEM (or get back to you) re: the bracket. This HDD came from eBay, the seller said it was set up for SCSI 0 (checked, reformated and tested/w OS 8.5, hence the dual-boot question ~ the highest I could re-install is 7.5.5). From what I understand, the Q650 can't boot from HFS+. Will the 2nd HDD show up like a CD or floppy drive? Until I get the bracket there are two things to ponder... 1) leave the termination on and connect the external zip to another system (660av/2G/53M [3 partitions] ~ 7100-66av/.5G/48M); or, 2) never be able to move the zip again without pulling the HDD (LOL). As soon as I hit 'send' I realized I'd mucked up the "JP1-ID2" <rolleyes>
Somehow this network must be able to include a scanner and printer (I'm not ready yet for Linux/NetBSD).
