well i havn't looked into a scsi disk upgrade until i hit this brick wall, 
because there was no need to... but now of course, i am already on the hunt 
for a suitable drive.

But like with old videogames, i'd like to give the original parts a decent 
chance at being fixed before going down the scsi route.. you know how it is, 
its all sitting on my bench right now and if i just put some effort in, i 
might beable to fix it... whereas the scsi route means finding a disk, 
getting a controller, getting it al to work on one of my pc's etc....  And 
like an old videogame i would (for now) like to try fixing the original 
hardware before sticking a 39-in-1 in there :P
