  I just ordered an '030 cube through Businessland sale.  I'm also ordering
an '040 upgrade and version 2.0 of the OS.  I have a HP SCSI drive (Model
HP97548S) that I've been running off from a Sun 3/50.  I'm interested in
using this drive as the boot drive for my cube.

  I just have a of questions on the procedure to do this:

  1)  What would I need to do to mount the drive internally?  What cable
      should I use (I've heard the internal connector is a SCSI not SCSI-2)?
      Am I going to have to change the cable when I upgrade to the '040?
      Is there any problem in mounting an this (full height drive) along
      with the OD internally?

  2)  I also have an Archive tape drive that I would like to mount externally.
      Is there any problem with just buying the NeXT SCSI-SCSI-2 cable to
      attach it?

   Thanks for the info!
   - Dave
