Thanks for the review. I'm thinking of getting one now (vs. buying a 500MB 2.5" Tosiba hard drive for $650 and hoping it works). > I haven't tried it under OS/2 but there is an OS/2 and winnt directory > on the drivers disk. Does this mean you will try it under OS/2? Inquiring minds want to know... > The cable has a 25 pin Centronics plug for the PC and a 50 Pin large > Centronics style connector for the SCSI device.

SCSI cables aren't supposed to be much longer than this. Besides, 25-wire cables can get expensive. :) Any problems after going into and out of suspend/hibernate? Does the cable block access to the adjacent video and serial ports? Do you have a SCSI hard drive so you can run some real throughput tests? Thanks. -- John H.
