I got the drive from Austin computers Cannington (ask for Adam and mention my name) you may have to pay $180 at worst I reckon. The install is a doddle for me as I know a little about the internals. The drive replaces the original, in its position and in its config (being the secondary master that is). Where my original Zip was (now in a PC) I have a 40gb slave drive to add to the 40gb drive which is the master and alone on the other channel (this setup seemed to be impossible under OS9 with this Rev A G3). Good old OSX. We took the precaution some months ago, in anticipation of the Superdrive, of replacing the original 350mhz CPU with a 500mhz Sonnet unit bought from another list member. Glitch count: 0 (however a ram module did die when we replaced the CPU, but it was a dodgy unit I believe and possibly a coincidence anyway) OS rating: 10/10 Tools required: Espresso Machine. Phillips-head screwdriver. Chuffed! Cheers Paul
