	Yes. It is usually prudent to secure the drive into the expansion
	box. The only time I ever ignore this is for temporary installs in
	the lab when we're just testing drives.

	I don't really know. The DEC part number is 74-39202-01 REV A01
	and that isn't a typical DEC sales part number. However, you might
	be able to procure them through your local DEC Field Service folks.
	
	I can't guarantee whether or not the Fujitsu drives have mounting
	holes that match the locations of the mounting holes on the drives
	we get from Micropolis. Although, I would suspect they probably do
	(I just haven't seen them). I don't think the bracket would be 
	very hard for any metal vendor to duplicate, but if it particularly
	stumps Fujitsu I wouldn't be averse to sending them a copy of the
	mechanical drawing. Just have them drop us a note or give us a call.

	I hope that the information helps.
