I want a drive that is in the 2-4 Gig range. On the mother board is an Adaptec 2740 controller that supports SCSI-II. Any non-HP solutions out there that work?

Any help with the above, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. >> I just bought and installed an IBM DORS 2.1 gb drive SCSI-II. It cost me $365 at a reseller here in town. I am sre you can do at least as good. It should work in the LC with no problems. There are several mail-order companies which will sell you refurb motherboards. HP uses a standard Intel motherboard, so it should be no problem. I recommend ASUS motherboard. I got one when I built my NT server (133mhz Triton Chipset) for about $250 a few months back. Make sure you have 256kb L2 cache. You can get new MBs with USB support and such, but it will cost you a lot more. If you need more info (such as addresses and phone numbers), e-mail me directly.
