Re: chinook ct-40 is this //c version?

["brad" <mrbrad(remove)@ll.net>]

yeah ....i figured it was just a scsi hd setup

they are really small...prob the size of a 3 1/2" ap2 drive with maybe an
inch and a half longer...room for a power supply (thin an small along
top...of unit...and a place to mount the 3.5" scsi drive and the internal
cable to the outside port and the switch..that is it

anyway i have a Chinook Ct-40 complete and an empty shell that looks the
same as the Ct-40..that one is a Ct-30 (empty)

anyone have the chinook version we are looking for that runs on a //c and
pics of internal board and/or install software?

if it is some kinda standard internal board and software combo (ie chinnook
ap2c install disk or some such) might be interesting to look at or try to
figure out how it was done

just wondering the case etc is neat only spent 11 bucks w/shipping so i'm
not out anything was just curious
