[comp.arch] How many internal devices to be installed in a CUBE?

lee@pipe.cs.wisc.edu (Soo Lee) (05/03/91)

Is there anybody who tried to install up to 3 storage devices in a new 040 Cube?
I'd like to put an OD into 8M/105M CUBE but don't have it now. The questions are
	1) how many power connectors available for internal devices
	   (according to '90 fall catalog, CUBE can have up to 3 HH devices)?
	2) Could you tell me any experience with this kind of configuration?
	   (power, heat problems)
	3) If there is someone who is using in/external CD-ROM, please send
	   me a comment. I'd like to know whether CD-ROM for MAC is working
	   with NeXT, especially panasonic mutiple CD-ROM exchanger.
Thanks in advance.

boy, here's a candidate for the FAQ!

Fyi, the cube has room for 2 full-height 5 1/4 devices. This means
that the cube has room for 4 half-height 5 1/4 devices. There are
other combinations, but I'm sure you get the drift.
