I hear its possible to connect a hard drive to a model 4. Has anyone out there done it? If so, did you do RS way? (the $600 way), or someother way? I also heard that RS used to OEM a harddrive controller board from western digital, they called it the WD1000 TB1. (long since gone I hear) Also, how many people out there have 128k on their 4? RS wants $30 for a single PAL for the memory upgrade. Oh, one more question, is it true the 4's memory can be fixed to run at 0 wait state? Thanks for any help!

WANTED: Looking for a harddrive controller for a model 4... Anyone out there have a old 4 (or 3) with a harddrive controller on it? I've heard the alternatives already, butall the ideas I've heard are about $300-$500 dollars! (about $300--$500 to much!!) I've got a drive for it, just need a controller! Anyone out there? thanks

Their order line (NOT tech support/questions!) is 1-800-MISOSYS, and their tech line is (703)-450-4181. > >Also, how many people out there have 128k on their 4?

In any case, GET THE EXTRA RAM! Once you get used to using it, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it....! |George Madison, a/k/a George The Bear Cub, a/k/a Furr ** BEAR POWER **| |gmadison@pnet02.gryphon.com 8-{)> ames!elroy!gryphon!pnet02!gmadison| |GEnie: GEORGE.M Arctophiles & Barbophiles Unite!
