Yes, but only if it's SCSI, in it's own powered box attached to the SCSI chain. > We have two Quadra 630s.

The 630 board doesn't support a second IDE drive, nor does it support "master/slave" switching. > If they cannot be used as a backup for the 630, can we use them to backup a > Quadra 610? The 610 has an internal SCSI drive and has a SCSI connector. Are > there external cases for an IDE drive that will connect to the SCSI port? Is > there any other way to connect an IDE drive to the 610? IIRC There is an adapter solution which will allow the use of an IDE drive internally on a SCSI bus in place of a SCSI drive. I can't recall it's name but someone else here may do, or a Google search for "IDE SCSI adapter" may find something. Though somehow, I don't think it was an inexpensive solution and may not warrant the bother. Mike -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
