I replaced the (Adaptec+Tandon)-combo in my SH204 by a ST1096N about a year
ago, using Claus's Software from his 'Scheibenkleister' book. Apart from a
minor problem during cold booting ( which does not hassle me enough to really
enquire what exactly it is :-) it works like a charms, 80 MB and noticably
faster than before. [ I just bought the Seagate drive, plugged it in, attached
it with some metal rods - its much smaller than the old one - and partitioned
it. I did this because the old drive had suddenly died ... ]
