I spoke with a distributor who said that they are indeed the same physical driveThe only thing they change is the board that is underneath the drive. If you hada board from an ST238 and put it in place of the board on an ST225, you'd have a working ST238. Only problem is, where do you buy them? --- Doug Marshall +1 619 485 3494 <...!ncr-sd!venus!dougm> "All of us is smarter than each of us!"
