Guy Sotomayor write: Not too bad. I was lucky and all of mine worked. Just print out the manual and make sure everything's configured correctly. I have the 8-drive versions. I put the CDC drives on a separate controller because apparently there's "issues" with mixing Eagles and CDC drives on the same chain. TTFN - Guy ----------------------- Hmmm. I supported the Eagles for the 8 years I was at Fujitsu. Don't remember anything about issues mixing with CDC on the same cables. Come to that, I was at MPI before Fujitsu and don't remember any problems with mixing there either. Of course, the Eagle simply ran forever. I visited a couple that hadn't been powered down in 5 years - just running along quietly in the background. So, I'm not surprised to see some Eagles still running. To me, it was the best disk drive ever made. Certainly the most reliable. I got to be good friends with the designer, Yuji Inoue. He was an incredible engineer. Sadly, he died about 3 years ago. And I add my kudos for your beautiful restoration. It is great to see such a labor of love. Billy
