- I have recently been employed in the Product Returns Dept. of
- MicroAGe Computers here in Tulsa. As such, I have access to
- all the goodies that customers return that the vendors won't
- take back. Some of the stuf is in brand new condition but the
- vendors are anal-retentive about what they will take back.
-
- There is an internal Superdrive sitting on our clearance
- center shelf and I would like to buy it and mount it in my 3.5"
- drive case (the 3.5 drive is dead). Is this possible
- without having an degree in Electrical Engineering and without
- ripping up the case?
-
- On a similar note, there are a ton of internal hard drives that
- have been orphaned. I would love to put together a rack system
- with four or five of them linked in a SCSI chain. Any one have any
- suggestions on how to go about something like this? (IE what sort
- of power supply and such would I need)
-
- One final question: Has anyone writen a driver for any of the
- 650Meg floptical drives out there yet? I have about 200Meg of
- GIF images that I would love to archive on one of those things.
