Hi, I was just talking to a lady at Conroy-Lapointe distributors about the possibility of putting some of those hard-card style disk drives in a few of our ATT-6300s that have only floppies for the moment. She said that they nomally sell the hard-cards made by CMS that are 1-1/2 slots wide. She said that electrically they are fine in a 6300, but they are too tall to be able to get the cover back on the machine, once they are installed! Can anybody coroborate the above (she really sounded like a sales person that actually knew something for a change). If so, is the Hardcard from Plus any better since it is smaller (/shorter?) ? CMS claims their card will work in a 6300; perhaps they really meant the 6300+. What Conroy was pushing for the 6300 was the WD controller and a 1/2 ht. 20 or 30 meg CMS/Seagate drive. (Any comments?) I was really hoping I wouldn't have to yank one of the floppies... Oh well.
