Swapping the standard A590 HD with a 40MB HD. Is it really as simple as removing the 20MB and plugging another one in ? There's also a second HD connector in the A590. Will a second HD fit in the A590 box? Will any 3.5 inch HD do ??? *********************************************************************** ** Keyboard error or no keyboard present.

It's quite easy. You can plug a 3.5" SCSI HD into the A590, there is a connector there (you'll need a short 50-pin cable). WARNING: I suspect doing so will void your warrantee, etc, etc, etc. There is no space for a second drive (it isn't THAT big!) :-) Of course, make sure you have the cable hooked up right (pin 1 to pin 1). After adding it, just run hdtoolbox and set up the drive like you would an external SCSI drive. Poof.
