<why do peaple put these silly statements up here?> a basic question which may have been already answered at one time or another: is it possible to install hard drives designed for the XT on the AT? specifically i have a seagate st225 that was donated to me. if you can install the hard drive, does anyone know what drive number to use in the setup program. is the cabling the same? i am asking a really stupid question? some people have told me that it can be done, while others say no way. andrew brown atb@ncsu DECVAX|mcnc|ncsu (ya know, i have know idea if this address is correct)

Not only can it be done, I've done it; in fact I am using a 225 on my AT right now while I'm composing this reply -- "Never trust an idea you get sitting down" - Nietzche ------------ {harvard,seismo}!uwvax!uwmacc!uwhsms!plocher (work) John Plocher {harvard,seismo}!uwvax!puff!plocher (school) ------------ decvax!encore!vaxine!spark!121!0!John_Plocher (FidoNet)
