  We have some Mac II's with CMS Pro-60II/i internal hard drives. We are
going to purchase some more Mac II's, and we are curious about the
possibility of rolling our own CMS equivalents.
  I've looked at the CMS drives, which use the ST277N, and it appears to
be relatively simple.  The drive has an embedded SCSI controller, so there
is no worry about that. You need a data cable and a power cable, which
should be easy to find or make. You also need some mounting hardware; I
have no idea where to find this. And last, but not least, you need
software, and pervious messages on this general topic have pointers to
SCSI drivers.
  Is it as easy as it would seem?  If anyone has already done this, I
would like to hear from you.

  Thanks in advance.
