You mention adding FDs and a HD; when I read through the manual, I didn't
see reference to that. Nor did I see any obvious place to connect them.
What did I miss, and how do they get connected to the unit? Or were there
different configurations available for the same model? When I took a look
at it last night, it sure looks like a nice machine!!!
