Yea the conner drive has every reason to not work. I slapped my scsi card in my gaming rig for a few to see how bad it was. Just about every other sector of the drive was damaged. I couldnt even reassign everything before getting a stack overflow.
My quantum on the other hand is perfectly fine. My mac just wont initialize it. P.S. I have a system 6.0.8 startup disk. P.P.S. the circuitry behind that white anti-static sheet doesn't carry high voltage. The red wire to the anode plug on the side of the crt does. The only thing you need to be wary of is slapping that board and breaking the yoke. On Aug 17, 2013 11:14 PM, "J.S.
