Now, unless somebody changed the chassis when I wasnt looking, the Z286LP only accepts 3.5" drives. It would be kinda tough to fit those 5.25" drives that you listed above into this particular computer. So the original reply was correct. The Conner CP322 or CP3022 as as used in the Z286LP uses drive type 6. > Kent Phelps | Internet: kent@wasp.eng.ufl.edu -- Jeff Easton Zenith Data Systems Systems Engineer OEM Engineering easton@andrews.edu Witty Quote: I break for Otters
