< Any idea where I could pick myself up one of those? The CDROM is not
<the only price factor that i'm worried about, it's also the external
<SCSI cable. I looked at a DEC SCSI cable that will fit into the back
<SCSI port, and it cost a mere $95. I'm running a incredibly tight
<budget, the story of a teenager's life, and $95 is simply out of the
<question.

Where to get a scsi drive have been covered by others. Since you don't need
the drive all the time you don't need the cable either.

Here's how. Pop the cover amd locate teh SCSI cable (50pin). The design
allowed for several drives internal so plug in to one of those, also
pick up power there as it's available. It's ugly, but it works.
