- Yes it's totally possible. As it turns out, the hard drives in the
- Vulcans are IDE. However it is my understanding that the Vulcan
- controllers can only work with certain drives. So, the way to go is
- get a Turbo IDE card which is made in Germany. The lastest ones
- should be able to control just about any IDE drive. I'm about to
- buy one of these myself and run a Maxtor 130MB drive off of it.
