Not that I am fairly confident that we can actually put SCSI disks onto
our 4/490 and expect them to work under 4.1.1 I need to find out about
mounting hardware.  Inside the 4/490 is a cage that holds the 150Mb 1/4"
tape drive.  We installed an Exabyte 8mm tape drive in the other opening.
What I would like to do is just buy another one of these to install the
SCSI disks in.  So, I look at the back of the cage and find "Assembly part
no. 540-1865" on the back.  Looking through my SunSpares price list I can
not find anything with this part number.  A call to the Sun sales office
also results in zilch.

Can someone in the know tell me if I can even do what I propose?  If not,
would someone be able to affer an slternate solution?  Are there third
parties that provide the mounting hardware I am looking for?  Do I need to
buy another powe supply?

Any help would be appreciated.  I will summarize back to the list if it is
of intrest to others.
