Re: Hard Drives for 40 meg vulcan

["brad" <mrbrad@ll.net>]

i know of some people who simply used a vulcan compatible drive (not sure
what kind..maybe the one you have) that was too tall..they simply mounted it
somehow within the //e or gs? case...using mounting brackets like a pc..and
used a buggie power supply to run it inside (external power supply) and the
vulcan ide card....sloppy.but if you have a vulcan ide card..and a
compatible hd that is too big..well...i guess you make due.....just a
thought...
