Bill has achieved success with his new ATA drive so he is probably not interested in yet another option for including drives. I don't know how roomy the 3000 desktops are, but my 5000MT has plenty of room inside (sorta).

Chris A. reminded us that there are two IDE/ATA buses on the motherboard, which can each hold a drive. I do believe that the 3000 used one of those for the CD-ROM. What I forgot (and Chris brought to mind) is that there is a SCSI bus inside too! I shouldn't have forgotten because two of my drives are SCSI.

Of course, the last time I looked, SCSI drives were way expensive. Apple used to use SCSI exclusively, making the change-over to IDE about the time the clones came out.

  Still, it's another option.
