I think I'll just go back to "sneaker netting" w/HDDs! :🙂

I was trying to avoid spending $80, but Sonnettech has always done well by me!

I've got a pair of $20 Multiple Card Reader/USB2 Bridge/external SATA/AV hookup units in the 5.25" drive format with a silver bezel. I've still got the blank faceplate, maybe it's time to ditch the DAs ZIP and hack a little bit of sheet metal! [}🙂] ]'>

Doesn't matter what card you stick in your machines, you will still only get USB 1.1 speeds under OS 9. In case that was unclear.

Clear as a bell, that's why I'm going back to sneaker-netting w/HDDs . . .

. . . of course THIS time around they'll (eventually) be ESATA HDDs. }🙂
