What is involved in replacing the hard disk in my SE with a larger capacity drive? I currently have a 20M drive and want something more like 80M. Is it as easy as just getting a 3.5 inch SCSI drive and plopping it in? Do you need a special driver? Has someone already done this (successfully B^)? The only raw SCSI drives that I am aware of are the Seagate ST-xxxx-N types. Are there other drives that I should consider? Why? Thanks for any and all information! P.S. please reply by e-mail. there is too much traffic in this group for me to keep up to date. -- Jeff De Vries jdevries@ads.com (ARPA) /* usual disclaimer */

No problem to put in a new raw drive. Seagate makes them, Quantum makes them,
Miniscribe makes them. You choose the manufacturer. Take pretty much any raw
drive brand X compatible software and format the HD with the driver software
on the floppy, and it should work fine. For doing that sort of thing, I highly
recommend UniMac's software. It will format ANY drive to my knowledge and
offers partitioning etc.

Get a Quantum80, format it with SilverLining, it should plug and play...I did it on the SE Im using. Bob Murrow
