Rick, Some SCSI devices (like my CD-ROM) have a DIP switch to determine whether they will work with the SCSI or SCSI-2 command set. I've never tried using a SCSI-2 device on a SCSI controller. > What is the difference in size between a half height and full height > SCSI device? About half. <g>. Actually, this half height, third height nonsense comes from the disk drives on older (i.e. Apple II and IBM PC and older) machines where the drive fit into a bay on the computer that was about 3 inches high. Newer drives took up only half this space and were referred to as 'half height' drives. The difference to you is the size of the bays in your computer where the disk will go. If you have a full height disk you will need a full height bay for the disk to go in. In addition, there are 5 1/4 inch and 3 1/2 inch disks and bays. Rick – On Autopilot from Vancouver
