And (if its a SuperMac internal drive) so long as you can find one of the
&%#@!$ Molex connector assemblies so you can connect it to the IIci's
power supply.

Sorry, but I have to get this off my chest.  Tonight I picked up a new
DataFrame XP100i.  I specifically asked the salesdroid if the drive comes
with a power connector compatiable with the IIci.  He told me it did.
I asked if he was certain.  He disappears into the back room to check with
the experts.  He comes back and says that the experts assure me that the
proper connector has been supplied.

WRONG.

With little faith left in the local "experts," I call SuperMac Tech Support.
The humans are all busy so I schmooze with their voice mail machine for
awhile, leaving a message, and hoping that someone calls back by Xmas.

I know it's not your fault, Fabian, but this one left me in a bad mood..
