I organized it the way I wanted it, then removed it and put it into a Windows SCSI system. Then I cloned that hard drive exactly to a CD. I don’t remember the details now but the CD looks in size just like the hard drive which was about 300 MB. Then I made about 10 copies of the CD and all I run now is a SCSI CD drive.
