I just bought and installed a Quantum PD105 (Q105), 3.5" half height, and
I still kept my Quantum LPS52 3.5" 1/3 height in my A3000. The 105 seems
clink a bit louder, and a bit slower than the 52, also much heavier. I
wonder what is the access time of each drive, and speed, buffer size?
I bought the Q105 at Warehouse 54 from a Mac magazine for a very good
price ($343 include shipping and handling), it comes with internal
scsi cable, 2 power cables, and a MacII mount bracket and a Mac setup
disk.

Is there an LED output from the drives? I'm thinking about adding 2 LEDs to
indicate which drive is being accessed (right now I go by sound).

Also, I just added 4M of SC DRAM ZIP to my 3000, the avail command shows
that I have 2047 kilobytes (I divided the number by 1024) of Chip ram,
which I should have 2MB, is this normal, or I have 1 KB missing?
The fast shows I have exactly 3.5 MB total, which is right, after kickstart
takes up 512k.

Thanks,
