Yes, Yes, but I _need_ a pair of 75 gig scsi drives for use in a raid setup. since the street price for one seems to be about $350, and I can't afford that, can't i just modify a IDE drive by soldering on more pins to make it a scsi drive? it would be so much easier...

Well, you can buy an adapter cable for your SCSI controller. <g> Now, while I started to write this as a joke, and was going to include some bogus www link, I searched google for "scsi to ide adapter" and got this http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/IDE/IDE_to_SCSI/ide_to_scsi_adapter.html So who would have guessed? -- Tony Alfrey tonyalfrey@earthlink.net "I'd rather be sailing"
