Hi JIm, I don't really have any diagrams readily available so I'll just blab away here. There are two main drive set-ups for those machine (I just went through all this recently w/ a Q950). The typical Q950 came with a sort of metal box "drive bay". This unit holds the floppy drive on it's top side and inside you can mount a hard drive. The unit also holds a SCSI ID selector. This "drive bay" is mounted on a "long metal plate" that is mounted onto the power supply. The "long metal plate" will hold two of these metal box "drive bays", side by side, with room for the cabling in the middle. The "drive bay" is also set-up "pre-drilled" to accept optical drives you just slide a CD drive into the middle and you'll see holes line up for the screws (I can't remember but I think that the holes are for side mounting?) If you pull out this left side "drivebay" that holds the folppy on top, mount your CD drive into the middle of it. Then you have to pull the "blank panel" from the front of the machine before you can slide all of this back in. To do this you have to loosen all the front panel pieces at about the middle (where the blank panel meets the long bottom panel). You can do this by means of little tabs that you can see poking through to the inside of the front. Once you have the front panel off, if you look around you can maybe find a CD bezel, they came on the WGS 9150, mounts in the same way as the blank one. That way you don't have a glaring hole in the front of the Quadra. I had a "caddy" style drive mounted for a while because that was the only drive that A/UX would see for installing. Worked OK. Now I've a Apple 4x drive that was in my 8500. Kind of slick, no more CD drive living on top of the machine.
Good luck, HTH, Scott Hi, Y'all,<br><br>Can someone point me to article or "how-to's" on putting a CD-ROM drive <br>into a 950 server? When I compare the service manuals with what the <br>insides look like, I am having a rough time visualizing where/how things <br>go. I think I'm more of a visual learner. Need to see diagrams or pictures.<br><br>One thing, I've got a full height, 5.25 hard drive in there (ST41800N, I <br>think) and it makes things look strange. Any help or suggestion would be <br>much appreciated.<br><br>Jim _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
