My original question:
>Hello Sun Gurus,

>Now I have some of these 1GB disks that I would like to re-use in (for

>The array disks have a single connection rather than having a seperate

The answer is that the Sparc4, Sparc5 and Sparc20 all use the same type
of connector on their internal disks, the newer style single connector.
The disks I remove from
the SparcStorage Array will work OK in those workstations. All that I
need is the new clear plastic mounting kits for installing them. These
have not been easy to obtain so far.
Pardon my ignorance on this question, the only Sparc20's I had previously
opened before were purchased as upgrades from Sparc2's. With these I had to
transfer the old style (seperate power connector) internal disk into the
new Sparc20. I did not even notice the new style connectors that were also in
the Sparc20 at the time.
Many thanks to those who responded:
