- I have my A4000. That's the qool part of the message.
-
- The internal drive is pretty fast too. [sysinfo 3.01 reports just
- over 1mbyte/second raw transfer rate].
-
- I have a 200Mb Quantum pro, mounted on a GVP series II
- controller, that I would love to move over to my A4000, but I'm
- too chicken to do so, because the cards in the A4000 are mounted
- horizontally, not vertically.
-
- I figure that the drive will be the 'correct' way up [i.e. not
- upside down] if I did leave it mounted on the card, but surely
- the inexorable pull of gravity would do horrid things to the
- connector itself.
-
- I don't have a SCSI cable to mount the drive in the other
- internal drive bay, so I thought I would ask others who have an
- A4000 AND a GVP Series II, what their opinion is; is it sensible
- to put the interface card and drive in my A4000 as one unit?
-
- Email welcome.
