Sounds good, I will get my ammeter out and report back. Which color wire am I looking to get the reading off of because I can't seem to get any reading off the yellow 12v. Any good places to get 50 pin SCSI drives besides the obvious, ebay? Also Sizes that I should look for... I heard I would only have a 2gb partition limit or something, can't quite remember but 2gb is more than enough especially because I have most everything on zip disks. Zip disks are so cheap now, but a good reliable hard drive is what I am now in search of.

Would it shorten the life of the drive motor to leave it on all the time so that I don't have to constantly put the motor through that strain when starting. LRA is 5 times higher than RLA and I can imagine it is putting a strain on the power supply.
