[SPARCbook] wanted T2-XRHDA external hard drive adapter

[Tai Wyatt]

Hi,

Why not try a 2 GB SCSI Jaz drive? I use a 1 GB now with my 3GX, works fine.

Hi,

> Why not keep your eyes out for another sparcbook?

I have a couple SPARCBooks.

By the way, I'm at the Veritas NetVision conference in Las Vegas this week.
Tadpole has a booth here, and their new UltraBook really is cool.  Everyone
already knows that though....   :-)

I'm looking for a fast and easy way of loading and copying the drives
from another machine, without having to rely on 10-base-T speed.  I'll
transfer a couple GB of stuff onto my SPARCBook at a client's, and it
takes too long to unload the stuff over the network connection.

There are other solutions to my needs, just would be nifty to find the drive
box so I can plug the drive directly into my desktop workstation.
