  I've seen advertisements for that little Jasmine 40Mb hard drive for 
the Macintosh.  It is quite small, and pretty damn cheap--$299 list.  
Sounds pretty tempting, since it's SCSI, after all...
  However, I've heard that the drive itself gets power from the Mac via 
the SCSI connection.  Is this true?  If so, will it even work on my 
machine if I get a 50-pin to DB-25 SCSI adapter cable?  Maybe with a 
little fiddling? :-)  Oh---I have a A3000-25 with a 50Mb already on 
board.
  Anyone who's tried using this thing?  My dad owns one for his Mac, but 
since he already has some important stuff on it, he won't let me touch 
it. :-)
