The problem is that when using the power strap that goes directly from the power supply to the disk ... It must have a bad connection because if i jiggle the wires to the disk power the disk dies. I've had to reconnect the mother board power strap untill I can get this ironed out the additional load of the disk on the power to the mother board has recreated the wavy screen problem that my other(7300) power supply had. PS. Is it possible to get one of those connecters the ribbon strap to the planer board and replace the existing one _without_ doing any soldering? PPS. does any one have a status report on the possible SCSI interface? -- Henry D.
