I had a 148 at one time and there was a little daughter board needed in order to plug the hard drive controller in, but I had a modem in the machine. I think if there is nothing else in the machines slots there should be no problem plugging in the hard drive controller in the slot directly. One other point the hard drive card may need to be a half slot card. If you have questions just ask? -- Paul A. Reitelbach * There's a way to do it better - Computer Programmer/Analyst * find it.
