Hey guys, quick question, having a Trinity Plus delivered to me in a few days. Never had one before and excited to play with it!
It has the HDR-TRI option, now that means that I can connect an external scsi HD correct? Or does is have one internally?

Secondly- if I do have to grab an old external SCSI drive, can I use one that's larger than 4gb? I can't find anything smaller than a 36gb on ebay for a few bucks. Just wondering if it will only read 4gb (fine) or will it be able to format it at all.
I can find zip drives that are 250mb, but that will only hold about 20 minutes of music. Not enough. I could chain a few together but there is no way in hell I'm paying 150+ each for 250mb of media!! That's 1996 prices!!!

Thanks!
Dan

Hi Dan,

Welcome to KF!
It is unusual to have an internal HDD in the Trinity, although not impossible. Usually you connect some external HDD. An alternative would be to use a SCSI to CF converter and use 4 GB Compact Flash cards. One of the best alternatives, although the SCSI/CF converter will cost you a bit (SCSIforSamplers was the old site, contact member scsiforsamplers for more information).

Somehow I seem to remember that I was able to format a 9.1 GB disk, but not full capacity, I think. Sorry if I'm wrong. My worry with the 36 GB disk would be that it is likely to be an UW SCSI(3) with 68 pin connector, which tends to not work correctly when a 68/50 pin converter is used. If it is a 50 pin SCSI2 drive however, then it should work.

I think going the flash way is the most reliable and futureproof choice. My 2 cents.
