Not that I am fairly confident that we can actually put SCSI disks onto our 4/490 and expect them to work under 4.1.1 I need to find out about mounting hardware. Inside the 4/490 is a cage that holds the 150Mb 1/4" tape drive. We installed an Exabyte 8mm tape drive in the other opening. What I would like to do is just buy another one of these to install the SCSI disks in. So, I look at the back of the cage and find "Assembly part no. 540-1865" on the back. Looking through my SunSpares price list I can not find anything with this part number. A call to the Sun sales office also results in zilch. Can someone in the know tell me if I can even do what I propose? If not, would someone be able to affer an slternate solution? Are there third parties that provide the mounting hardware I am looking for? Do I need to buy another powe supply? Any help would be appreciated. I will summarize back to the list if it is of intrest to others. -- Dan Ehrlich -- Dan Ehrlich - Sr. Systems Programmer - Penn State Computer Science <ehrlich@cs.psu.edu>/Voice: +1 814 863 1142/FAX: +1 814 865 3176
