I didn't think about that, I'll visit the Fujitsu web site.

Same machine, with a built in Adaptec SCSI controller. I do have a 300meg
Seagate drive that only will go to 200 on my IBM PC.

I am looking into getting a few new (used) drives. 1 gig is the largest I
can use, but my other drives are all much smaller. I want to have all 1 gig
drives.....probably 3 of them on this machine, installed in my SCSI tower.
Thanks for responding, I was starting to think that I was the only person
using SCSI on this list :-)
