Re: SUCCESS!!! GS Internal 3.5 Drive!!!

<At the end of the article, he indicated that the mod requires the external

<Actually, this is sort of what I have.  My floppy drives are external, but
<my HD is...I mean, will be...INternal.  I have the Vulcan-GS power supply.

<DB25->SCSI cable built, the drive is going into its new home inside the
<Vulcan case.  And now that I have the SCSI pinouts (courtesy of an Amiga
<3000 manual), that will be happening fairly soon.  I can hardly wait...the
<computer case will deaden some of the noise from that drive!

	I have done this with a Aii power supply I picked up at a swap meet
made by a Florida company years ago. This is a replace ment power supply of 
about 150 watts with an mfm HD in the front half and an interface card. The card
and drive were replaced with a 3.5" SCSI and RamFast Interface and I now have 
a very slick GS with internal HD.
