Anyone know a way to put a IDE controller in a 2000, so I can transfer my graphics to a Removeable Harddrive? My 4000 is down , I really need all those AlphaPaint and Lightwave graphics Thanks, John

Yeh, Expansion Systems has an IDE Controller for about $110. I have one with a SCSI Controller on it also. You can hook up to 2 IDE devices and up to 6 SCSI devices all from one controller card. Plugs into a Zorro-II slot I believe. The only thing I don't like about it is it doesn't have an external connector built onto card that comes out the back of the 2000. I haven't had a need for an external device so far, so it hasn't been a problem. But someday I'm sure I will have to run a cable out the back to hook it up to an external peripherial. Shouldn't be to much of problem though, i hope. 🙂 Later, Robert

Thanks, sounds like something I could use right now. Need to pull off my graphics on 2 IDE's. Where did you buy the board? I'm in the LA area. Of course, I could do mail order. John
