The other store in town says it will! It will---I've been using a system configured that way for a month now---but... the cable furnished with the MEGAFILE30 is too short to reach from the back of the MEGAFILE30 case to the 1040ST when the MEGAFILE30 is placed under the monitor and positioned in the natural way with the connectors at the back. What I have done is to rotate the MEGAFILE30 by 90 degrees, which brings the connector close enough to the back of the 1040. It works fine, but it isn't very elegant. ================================================== | Michael Fischer | | Arpanet: | | Bitnet: | | UUCP: | ==================================================
