(This letter is an answer to ...mcvax!ndosl!ifi!jkr. I am sorry to have to
post it but somehow any Email I sent there bounced.)
Thank you for your kind answer. You write:
>Yes, it is possible to both replace the existing hard drive mechanism
I am interested only in replacing my 20 Meg mechanism.
>Changing the mechanism is the simple act of swapping drives & setting up
>AHDI format to acommodate the new drive.
Could you please elaborate a little more? Did you encounter cable/connector
problems? Or did you experience any problem with AHDI? I remember how
easy it was to format the SH205... but I only had 3 partitions, and
I guess the maximum allowed is 4 partitions of 16 Meg each, right?
Did you find a turn around this limitation?
Thank you,
Regards,
