The problem you'll have there is those olde beasties require a lot of power to run and even more while getting up to speed. Any idea what the capacity of the drive is? I happen to have a pair of external SCSI drive boxes that can hold a pair of 5.25" half height drives or one 5.25" full height drive. However, they have the high density 50 pin SCSI II connectors on the back. I'm searching for a SCSI II drive around 8 to 10 gig capacity for use with my Radius 81/110 which will be equipped with a Media100 system soon as it gets here from Australia. :) Got the entire setup with software, manuals and the "Whole Deal Dongle" for a measley $32 AUD. Then the shipping padded the price up to $170 AUD. :P ===== "You never have to repair or replace what you leave out of the design."
