I swapped it in, formatted it, and and loaded the GSOS, and it works fine. It's a WD93044-A, and it seems a bit faster than the original drive, perhaps because it has 1:1 interleave due to onboard cache. I also tried a 105 meg drive, which was detected and seemed to format, but it didn't work. When I get a chance, I'll try playing with that again. I like these Vulcans. They are internal, cool the whole machine, and seem just as fast as my SCSI drives. The name and the black color are pretty cool too. -Paul
