If the drive case is two or so feet across, it is the latter [actually earlier] and is totally incompatible. As I recall, _all_ of the compatible drives had their capacities labelled on the front of the drive -- it's been so long that I forget whether the 8.4 drives were labeled with their size or not. Either way, salvage the the adapter card from the Model II, with the cable and the connector that passes through the case. Those I will paying shipping plus a bit for untested. And I'll accept the drives -- if they're the 8.4 type, it is _critical_ to lock the heads before shipping. Oh, the primary and secondary drives are different, as the primary contains the actual hard disk controller. In either generation. The board in the Model II is basically a bus adapter. -- Ward Griffiths <mailto:gram@cnct.com> <http://www.cnct.com/home/gram/> When I was crossing the border into Canada, they asked me if I had any firearms with me.
