 Cool; I'll have to check that out.  I was hoping someone might have one
 they wanted to sell for a lower price but may end up mail-ordering.

 I think you misunderstood my question.  I know the Vulcan wasn't SCSI; I was
 just wondering if I could put a SCSI card and drive in the computer along
 with the Vulcan.

 I really like my Vulcan, though I admit it is overpriced in general (I had the
 Navy Exchange special order my 40Meg a few years ago and got a damn good deal
 on it at the time...)  I've heard alot about the Econ drive and I'm going
 to check it out.  Is it a drive+card all in one or do I need to buy a RAMfast
 SCSI card with it?  Is it DMA compatible?  Where can I buy it?
 
 Thanks for your help and information!
