Several Mac SCSI vendors were recently selling notebook IDE drives with an IDE to SCSI adapter so they could be used in Mac laptops. http://www.apstech.com was one of them. Didn't see it on their site just now, but that doesn't mean much. Don't know how much good you think it would do. Wouldn't be surprised to learn this adapter was a very bad SCSI neighbor and bus hog. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net (hm) ====================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
