Definitely >an unequivocal no-no! Sidney, Great comments, thanks. Interesting insights into the internals of the socket. Yes, good to reiterate the final bit - that one doesn't seem to as known as it should be. DIsk driver incompatibilities...hmmm. Shall have to think about that one. In one of my crashes though they were identical original 2400s, one SCSI-drived to the other. The crash occured during backing up proceedure. But elsewhere, this may explain things.
