Hi

As is the tradition at this time of year, my nicely manicured hard disk is just off south for the winter, complete with the contents. My SE/30 is not happy.

EBay seems expensive for replacements. I have got a load of Sun SCA disks lying around (4GB iirc). If I get myself an adapter (e.g., SCSI SCA 80Pin to IDC 50Pin Adapter (on ebay as we speak)) do you think I'd have problems connecting one to the SE/30? Has anyone got experience of doing anything similar? Is the poor geriatric power supply going to give out after 10 minutes?! :ii:

Thanks!
