No problem with any connections and the software they provided worked fine. If you get a drive that is MFM and buy an RLL controller then you could get more capacity from the hard drive. His 40meg is now packing 60 meg. ICD is a good choice and the price is right. But that's just an opinion. -- Compugraphic cg-atla!tremblay 200 Ballardvale Wilmington, Ma. rectum?
