Since it's a 5.25" full-height drive, you'll also need adapter brackets to get a more modern drive to bolt into the case. They shouldn't be too expensive...they used to bundle them with retail hard drives, but I've not seen them sold with a drive for some time now. _/_ Scott Alfter / v \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] (IIGS( http://alfter.us Top-posting! \_^_/ pkill -9 /bin/laden >What is the most annoying thing on Usenet? -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
