Are you attempting to use a 2.5 inch SCSI drive internally? If so, I
reccommend getting a SCSI Expander Card from Memory Plus Distributors. It
costs $69 and basically holds the 2.5 inch drive on the card. The card
has a socket for the drive and a socket for a 25 pin cable which goes to
your SCSI card. It has a bank of 4 DIP switches for setting SCSI ID and
Termination.
