I currently use a 340 meg (DHAA-2405) from a 755CE, and a 270meg (DBOA-2270) from a dead 355C on my desktop. The only problem is that the 270 won't work as a master drive, but it works great as a slave. The current OS is OS/2 Warp 3.0 with Fixpack 26, though I put on Win95 on the 340 so I could run something. The converter will run you somewhere from 5-40 bucks, for a conservative estimate. It all depends on where you get it. Regards, Paul Regards, Paul Khoury pkhoury@earthlink.net
