Just to keep up the off-topicing, I successfully managed to ram in a
Seagate 4.3GB HH SCA-drive, into my SS5 WITH the drive-sled. Ofcourse, I
needed some violence to get it there (considering the "handle" on the
drive-sled refused to swing over the drive without force) and I'd have
to sacrifice one SCA-connector on the backplane. That's OK, I have a
spare (broken) SS5 incase I want to run 2 x 1" drives some time. :-)

Also something to recommend to the daredevil SS5-owners: Incase you
don't have an internal CDROM, or if you can sacrifice the internal one,
put an ordinary 50-pin (or 68-pin with converter) drive where the floppy
resides and use the CDROMs 50-pin cable. Fits nicely in there and works
like a charm. :-)
(but I guess you've found out that one already)
