- I tried to install a Power Computing (UK) HD into my 2000, at first there was
- no joy, so they sold me a "special" cable to fix the problem. It still
- persisted with the above problems. I ended up exchanging the internal unit for
- an external unit (which did work). Power technical said some 2000s just did
- not like internal HD units. Had any-one else every heard this?
-
- BTW they never did refund the cost of the "special" cable (which looked
- exactly like the cable I already had)
