The bracket will work - you'll just have to remove it to mount/remove
the hard drive.  It doesn't have the open top like the LX/IPX/Classic
mounts.

Oddly enough the LX power supply will also work in an IPX, I don't
know about any others.  Big Mike sent me a replacement IPX board to
replace one I thought was dead so I had one to experiment with.  BTW -
powering these off batteries you should be able to run the board with
a couple of voltage regulator circuits and the SNS (grey) wire tied to
+5V.  (Still working on portable Battlenet server for friends.)

BBtogBf> Scary.... very scary..... (:+}}...

But _very_ true.  I've run into quite a few - especially when I was
managing NT networks and a Windows Help-Desk.

I was the only one at one place who could even think of taking on the Lantronix
terminal server programming because what they wanted to do couldn't be
done from the GUI app.  The only other guys who liked any form of 'nix
was my Group Leader (a *ick), and the guy I worked for/with who had a
SS5/75mhz at home but no O/S for it.  A good guy, I just dropped off
2.6/7/8 for him to store for me. ;-)
