I have a mech from a HP7962 (130 meg). I got it from an upgrade to a 7963 (310 meg). Can I use this old mech for anything? Perhaps for a Vectra RS or other system with a ESDI controller?

If you only have one mechanism in the 796x, you could try putting the other mech back. The 796x drives run three mechanisms off of one power supply. Although I do not think that "mixing" is a supported configuration, to the best of my knowledge it should work. If your 796x drives are all full, you could look for a 7961B or 7957B to upgrade. If you are worried about support issues, ask your local office, this is not an official HP statement. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Campbell Some times I wish that I could stop you from campbelr@hpda.hp.com talking, when I hear the silly things you say.
