I believe I have this same drive. Its damned heavy.
IIRC, I used a
ramp and a winch strap to inch it into the back of my car and then had
help unloading/moving it. Currently its sitting on the base shelf of
a 3' high 19" rack with casters so I can move the thing about.
Mine has a Pertec interface. I picked it up from a local seller for
$0.99 on ebay. -
Got you beat by $0.99. A friend had one sold as surplus inventory by
Intel. Brand-new, still in original packing with all the paperwork
and rack mounts and a note taped to the front: '''Won't power up".
He figured that he'd never get around to fixing it, so he offered it
to me if I'd get it out of his garage.
I was all set for a nice troubleshooting session, when I looked at
the voltage-select jumpers on the rear. They were set for 240VAC and
the unit shipped with a 120VAC line cord. Swapped a couple of
jumpers and the thing came right up.
Sometimes you get lucky.
