Well, I got a 40meg Seagate ST251N, so now I'm looking for the SCSI adapter for my 1000. I haven't paid attention to the postings. What has anyone else had luck with? I'm looking at the StarBoard II's adapter, and possibly the Great Valley Products adapter. Comments? Suggestions? Thanks for any help/hints... -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Garvin NCSU Computing Center Raleigh, NC "A waste is a terrible thing to mind."

Suggestions? > Thanks for any help/hints... I used the C.Ltd SCSI interface with the Adaptec 4000-ACB SCSI->st506/412 interface. I haven't had a problem with it since I grounded the drive to the frame ground. I got the SCSI interface for $201 from Abel supply and the Adaptec board for $89 from Computer Surplus in California. The nice thing about this is that you can hook up another drive to the Adaptec board. The Supra interface will also do the job, and it's cheaper than the C.Ltd interface and it has a clock. I looked into the StarBoard interface but they were having problems with non Mac type drives at the time, and I wanted to hook up other SCSI devices, not just hard drives. At the time C.Ltd answered all my questions, Supra gave the run around so I opted for the C.Ltd. Hope this helps. Any other questions, e-mail me. Chris. {?????}!rochester!kodak!ektools!barrett
