I guess you're lucky there... C= wouldn't take bake the 40-Quantum in my 
3000... now it's `resting in peace' in my closet ... (can't put 3 Drives in 
my 3000 ... :-( )

No... but what you should do: before taking the 50Meg drive out, connect 
your 200Meg drive as second drive, install it with HDToolbox (better re-read 
the drive params, my 160Meg drives were set to some 155 Megs...) and copy 
everything from the 50 to the 200... that should shorten the install 
procedure quite a bit...

I had some 850K out of my 160 Quantums... (1.1Meg w/direct track access)
