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,
