Deskpro 4000S HD&CD Upgrade by Adam Richardson
Hi All, I've got a trusty old DeskPro which I'd like to put a new HD and CDWR in since they're pretty cheap... Can anyone tell me if it matters what drives I get? Are there limitations which mean a new drive won't work? E.g. can I put an EIDE HD in there? Thanks a lot,

DeskPro 2000 by [email protected]
I just rescued a DeskPro 2000 from a skip and it appears to be working fine except for a problem which occurred when I tried to add some cards to the machine.
