Is the internal SCSI connector for the EMAX II a standard DB50? It looked a little longer than the internal connector in my mac. Also, should one of the center pins on the board side be missing? I have an internal drive on the way and want to get the correct cabling for it, or be buying an external case for it. Thanks in advance, Ed

It is a standard 50 pin SCSI internal. One HDD i can recommend w EmaxII is the Quantum Maverrick 540. I have two of them installed internally in my EmaxII. There is only one power cable inside, so youll have to get an y-cable if youre gonna use more than one internal drive. The EmaxII power supply seemed to be a bit cheesy so i switched it for a more powerful PC-supply About that missing pin i know nothing... Is it missing in the SCSI-connector? I know that some IDE connectors lack one pin. Thus preventing inserting the cable wrong. /Henrik At 11:19 PM 11/3/99 +0000, you wrote:

Thanks for the info I successfully installed a Cooner 540 drive. How did you mount your drives inside the emax? Hardware from a pc mounting kit? thanks -e At 08:16 PM 11/4/99 +0100, you wrote:

I have mounted my two 540's as follows: Wrapped them into thick packaging plastic and thrown the pack right in and reassembled the Emax case.. :) Not a very nice solution but they have been running for two years now, withouth problems. There might be a problem of overheating though, but I have never had my Emax on for more than a day or so at a time. There are plenty of room inside, so there is no good reason for _not_ mounting the drives properly. (Maybe w a PC kit) but I'm too lazy. At 08:17 AM 11/13/99 -0500, you wrote:
