Thanks to all those who responded. There were many suggestions, most including tie wraps or velcro to hold the new drive in. One pointed out that I had asked for a "double headed SCSI cable" which is a "BAD IDEA" due to ringing. Poor terminology --- I had intended to write double connector assuming daisy chain. I type humbly corrected. Of course, there is no problem for the power cable... HOWEVER: I hapened to call Computerware and they had a double drive mounting bracket from Microtech for $30. It was implied that this was their last and that they might not get any more so it is probably best to contact Microtech directly. The bracket appears to be very nice and includes the cables for power and data for two drives. Nice. Assuming that all goes well, I have a single drive bracket and cables for sale: Make offer if interested. My best to all who sent me help and guidance -- it was nice to get friendly mail in my box for a change! Cheers, -- Kevin

Poor terminology --- I had Hmm-- I think I understand the difference, but I want to be sure (because I want to get one of these myself). This is bad: /= -------/ \ \= (where '=' is the connector), but THIS ----=----= is OK (assuming the drive attached to the second connector is terminated, and there is termination on the other end somewhere.) -- Matthew T.
