Simple. Just open the case, remove the 50-pin SCSI cable, remove the
4-pin power cable, unscrew the drive and take it out. Replace it with
the new mechanism, and connect the cables in the same manner that they
were connected to the old one. If your enclosure is large enough, you
could leave the 80 megger in it and add the new drive. You can
partition and format it with the utilities included with System 6, or
use the RamFAST utilities if you have one. You might have to change
thetermination on the new drive; check the docs with the drive to see
how to do this.


 Also, I have a ROM 1 IIgs, and in order to make room for the

I believe the Datalink emulates a SSC; therefore, you'll need to switch
the slot to "Your Card". Why not put it in slot 2 instead?
