Dont throw away your sh204.
Inside it is just like the bms-100 in function.
there is a SCSI adaptor (little board) connected to an Adaptec 4000.
The adaptec is connected to 1 internal drive.
An adaptec will run 2 drives. just add a second drive:
1. get new 34 pin ribbon with 3 connectors on it (not just 2.)
a. one connector to adaptec, one to internal drive, one continues out
the box to another drive.
2. get a second 20 pin connector, just like the internal one, only longer.
((these are standard PC materials -- should be easy to get or make ))
3. add a second drive and a power supply for it. sh204 doesnt have any to
spare.
I put a 80 meg drive on my sh204 -- works great.
