I haven't done an IDE, but have done several replacements in CMD units.. Upgrading to a larger SCSI drive is just a matter of mounting the new drive (usually the mounting screws are in the standard positions), and plugging the SCSI cable and the power connector into the new drive's connectors. Couldn't be easier. Two things to be aware of are: 1) That the replacement drive has the SCSI terminator resistors installed (those multi-pin things that are plugged into the drive's circuit board right near the SCSI connector) - generally there's three of them. 2) Jumpers on the drive should be set for SCSI device '0'. If it/they aren't, when you run the llformat prg, you will see that it won't detect device zero when it scans for it. You need it as device zero, as that's the device where the system will want to be created. Some drives have another jumper on-board which is used to set operating mode (or somesuch). If that isn't in the right position, then drive won't spin when powered-up. ..so those are pretty straightforward. One more point is that I understand that upgrading to some larger drives / or brands of drives (I'm thinking specifically of IBM brand here) may necessitate an upgrade to the latest DOS, plus an upgraded boot ROM. I recently upgraded my HD-40 (had Quantum drive) to a 240 meg Quantum. No additionals needed. I am now upgrading a friend's HD-20.. It originally had a Seagate mech (yecchh), was upped to a 70 Meg Rodime (yecchh), and now going to a 200 Meg IBM. Looks like the latest upgrade requires the latest HDOS (v1.92) and boot ROM (2.78) (just got them in, and I'll probably do it tomorrow) I'm partial (in my limited experience) to Quantum.. I didn't care for what I saw of the Seagate, or what I've read at other times. This isn't to say whether Maxtor or Conner are great (maybe?), good, ok, etc. I just don't have experience with them.

While there are relatively few programmers still collecting royalties on = a lot of the new packages stocked by the last remaining few distributors, they indeed were paid for it at some point (whenever the distributor sold it). So yes, in most cases you this no longer deprives the author... just us poor sucker distributors who thought we were doing folks a favor by buying up what was left and keeping it legally available. And because games in general are so easy to get for free now, those few new titles that have been released in the last couple of years don't sell enough to make it worth even writing, let alone distributing. I guess we should thank the pirates for doing us these favors.
