 	I appreciate the reply but I think this is not entirely true -
 My understanding is that DEC has their own mscp boards on the drive
 so just getting one third party will not work. For that reason the 
 cabling is different as well. If this is not correct please let me
 know. The power supply idea is good if we can get the cabling sussed
 out. 
  thanks
