(It's 1.9GB, full-height, Fast-SCSI-2.) Don't forget that the Mac uses a bitmap allocation factor. This means that the minimum amount of disk space you can use will be about 60K at a time. This will waste a lot of space if you have small files. Alternatively, use some formatting s/w to partition it and make it look like a lot of smaller volumes. Glenn B
