There are two of these for sale in unknown condition. They are big

that it would be neat to interface them to an older PC.
Any words of advice? Are they difficult to work with or interface?
(Any more difficult than an older 5.25" drive?)

main thing to watch out for is that they take 5, 12 and 28 (i think)
volt ps which has to be pretty substantial. If they come w/o that take
care what you hook them up with.
There probably are a lot of threads on this forum about 8" to PC's w/o
opening that can of worms before you search that source of information.
