There are SCSI interface based flash drives that I've successfully installed into 9100's. I have used several sizes, including 256MB, 512MB and 1024MB (although anything higher than approx 360MB suffers from the disk being too large for some of the 9100 utilities same as the platter based SCSI drives.) My most recent experiments have been with SCSI "adaptors" that allow the use of PCMCIA flash cards. Some success so far, but I've not had time to fully test them as of yet. The cheapest and easiest replacement however, is to get a tested working SCSI harddrive - lots of the ones from old Macs are available on eBay and are cheap. _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist@flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist
