Getting tired of the faan noise from the MEGAFILE 60. Yes I have tried putting 10K Ohm 5 Watt resister to reduced the current and lower the noise down for quite some time until I lock-up the MicroScience. Now the fan is back to full blaze with the SEAGATE 277-1 rattering instead of Dead MicroScience. I just obtain a 100MB CONNER SCSI 3.5" and only 1"Thk HD, an ICD host adapter. I planned to install it inside the MEGA casing by bolted the Drive and the card to the under side of the RF Shield. I saw a picture of Third Coast Interna l drive for MEGA the drive is fixed upside down. Will these shorten the life of the Hard Disk. I could fabricate 4 L shape brackets if necessary to turn it right side up but won't look as neat. Another question is I still not quite clear how to format HD to make it recognize by Macintosh after tapping SCSI out to DB-25 for MAC. You did mentioned that the HD has to be format with Supra
