Roger carpal tunnel Registered: 18/01/2000 Posts: 5683 Loc: London, UK	I thought that you had to sacrifice one of the disks to squeeze the adapter in? Could be wrong though. _________________________ -- roger

If space constraints required you had to lose a disk to fit in the adapter, you may still be able to fit in a CF adapter as the second disk.

wfaulk carpal tunnel Registered: 25/12/2000 Posts: 16706 Loc: Raleigh, NC US	According to the drive upgrade guide: Quote: For the empeg Mark 1, the drive must be no taller than 14 millimeters. For the empeg Mark 2 and the Rio Car, the drive must be no taller than 19.5 millimeters. _________________________ Bitt Faulk

andym carpal tunnel Registered: 17/01/2002 Posts: 3996 Loc: Manchester UK	I remember doing my first drive upgrade and the finding that the 30GB drive I was putting in was nearly half the height of the 10GB one I was taking out! _________________________ Cheers, Andy M
