Not familiar with these units, so I can't say for sure that they will work. If
they are properly designed, they will.

Well, you can call it cheesy if you want, thogh you might bear in mind that the
drive is not welded into place in this unit, and can be replaced with any 3.5"
SCSI drive you choose. It also has provision for 2 megs of memory. It is also
likely to be faster than the others. Pretty cheesy alright.
