That seems kinda cheap for that big of a drive. -------------------- Christophillis- Portable Squadren Commander 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Total 68k Macs Liberated: 6.02x10^23 Or just 6
Unknown_K Full Member USA 602 Posts	Posted - 04 Jun 2003 : 11:52:01 Well they are 5.25" full height (takes up 2 cdrom bays). So what are you going to install these suckers in?
dunbar New Member USA 87 Posts	Posted - 04 Jun 2003 : 12:17:00 I have a highly modified Q950 in a 14 ga steel case, with a 2 stage power supply, 9 1/2 height drive bays.... has a Daystar PPC601 in it, and it'll git up 'n' go, if ya tell it to. (I sound lika a kid from the late 1950s talking about his 52 Mercury!) Used to have pix of it on Yahoo, but recently tossed them out; you can't see it today. I call it the UberQ950, in my sig.

Unknown_K Full Member USA 602 Posts	Posted - 04 Jun 2003 : 15:37:46 A scsi tower case would be more practicle, with a raid card in your Q950 I have an external case i got a long time ago with a 9gb 5.25 fh drive in it, was thinking of getting 1 42gb drive to replace it, would be enough storage to dump movie captures in or store images of every 68k app made.

Has 9 bays, each bay is 1/2 height. That means I have an extra bay available. Raid? Too pricey for me to buy a raid card. Unless a generous donor crops up and offers a suitable card, this will be nonRaid. quote: I have an external case i got a long time ago with a 9gb 5.25 fh drive in it, was thinking of getting 1 42gb drive to replace it, would be enough storage to dump movie captures in or store images of every 68k app made.

oldmacman Full Member USA 713 Posts	Posted - 06 Jun 2003 : 13:33:48 You can get a NuBus SCSI card (there's an ATTO SiliconExpress on eBay for $50 Buy It Now, bid is at $25) and use FWB Hard Disk Toolkit to set up a striped RAID. Not too expensive at all.
