I have V6.something on both which I setup I recently rescued 3 2000s from recycling, and couldn't stand how loud the RD54s were, especially when all 3 were running. I did some research and finally got them all running the Mueller patches to support SCSI drives. Lots quieter now - I can have them all on and still be able to listen to music. I'd do the same...except the cable doesn't provide an internal SCSI port...does it? I don't have any cables spare that would work I don't think. You'd need the expansion plate, I believe, because it provided the interface to the external disk and the rudimentary SCSI for the TK50Z. -- VAXman- A Bored Certified VMS Kernel Mode Hacker VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)ORG I speak to machines with the voice of humanity.
