Well, the mechanisms are the same, the case is sturdy, they have a universal
power supply, decent on/off switch (except it is upside down *B^)), are tidy
inside... what more could you ask?
SCSI address selection is with a 8-dip switch on the back, which only uses 3
of the switches.
Oh, and ours arrived in New Zealand 3 working days after ordering - but took
another 7 to clear customs and be delivered *B^(
