- Okay, are you saying that the best replacement for a HD drive would be
- a Chinnon HD drive? Is this what the A3000 and maybe A4000 had in them? I
- do know that the HD drive in the A4000 goes at half speed because of the
- Puala problem. I'm also in a situation that if I replace my DD with the HD
- I could then close the top on my A2000. As the Brige Board has a HD drive
- attached to it. I would like to use it with both. Thanks.
