Yes, I'm well aware of that. I don't know what in my message gave you the impression that I was suggesting that could be done. All I said was that I thought the 7600 was ATA based, not SCSI based. In other words, I thought it was made after Apple made the transition from SCSI hard disks to ATA ones for the internal disks in PowerMacs. (As a curiosity, it _is_ apparently possible to use SATA disks on Serial Attached SCSI controllers. Cool, eh?) -- Craig Ringer
