I just took delivery of a brand new A3000 myself - and installed my Quantum Pro 210 internally with no problem. It's quite simple actually, all you do is swap the floppy to the outside and put the HD in the inside bay. It fits fine - the form factor for the screw holes forced you to raise the HD about half and inch from the bottom of the bracket though. -- Via DLG Pro v0.975b __________ _ _ /////////// \\ // +----------------------------------------------+ // \\ // | Greg_Bastow@tvbbs.wimsey.bc.ca OR 1:153/910 | // \\ // | 530 Megs Online, Gaming, Usenet,Fido !FILES! | // \\// +-----+ Fish Disks Online - Official DLG Site | // unnel \/ ision BBS +----------------------------------------+
