	It's quite easy.  You can plug a 3.5" SCSI HD into the A590, there
is a connector there (you'll need a short 50-pin cable).  WARNING:  I suspect
doing so will void your warrantee, etc, etc, etc.  There is no space for
a second drive (it isn't THAT big!) :-)  Of course, make sure you have the
cable hooked up right (pin 1 to pin 1).

	After adding it, just run hdtoolbox and set up the drive like
you would an external SCSI drive.  Poof.
