  Meanwhile:  I just installed a Quantum Fireball 1080S in a 660av.  1 GB,
fast but clickety noises are louder than most other 3.5" disks installed
internally.  Got it via an educational discount deal at $380.  Also needed
third-party driver to work it (FWB $49 worked).  Jumpers are described
(poorly) at 
 http://www.quantum.com/support/jumpers/fbscsiju.html  .
