Also if you are going to use AT&T drives, and want to go to a larger capacity than the standard 147's that the 600 first had, you will probably want Release 3.0 of the Host Adapter and Disk Utilities in order to recognize the larger drives and/or any embedded SCSI drives. The last thing to consider is that any warranty you have may be voided by non-AT&T supported drives. Doug Barnes AT&T NTSC Lisle, IL
