Yeah, I kinda liked Ray's approach. I've never seen the plug-in bays he
mentioned, and I'm wondering where you find them.
I'll have to check out eBay to see if any show up there.
The beauty of Ray's setup is the ability to carry the backup offsite, and=

older HDD's are probably cheaper than Zip media. =

I do (also) have an old PS/2 mod 95 with hard drive "trays" so I guess it=

must be something on that order. =

I'm not sure what a hard drive "frame" is, though I suspect it's a separa=
te
box to contain HDD's... how does it get attached? =

If it was scsi, I suspect the external adapter plug for the scsi cable ca=
n
be used, but are there IDE frames as well?
