    Yes, documentation is really lacking. You just have to google like a madman to find bits and pieces here and there.

     

    Once up and running it's really useful though for file transfer. No more messing with floppies or SD cards (I put my Ultrasatan inside the MegaSTE).

    I'm using STing with my Mega STE and the NE2000 drivers. Litchi for ftp to my NAS and directly to my Mac Mini. Haven't got any web browser to work yet. CAB 1.5 complains about a read error in the cache folder. I can ping servers on the internet though.

    I got the shipping mail today as well. Funny, since the package arrived yesterday.

     

    The case has a great sturdy feel to it. I'm trying to get the computer on the network now. It does show up on the network scan but does not respond to pinging. These things are not so obvious to me. Using STing and a Mega STE.

    I just checked with Lotharek, and he says that his new internal UltraSatans will allow you to hook the MegaSTE activity LED to the PCB (apparently there will be special connectors just for this). I know it doesn't help you with your UltraSatan, but I just thought I'd pass this along for those who might be interested.

     

    Thanks for the info, it might persuade me to get the internal version actually.

     

    As for the fan, I suppose it's there for a reason so I wouldn't want to remove it completely. It can be replaced easily if you lift the PSU out of the case. I wonder whether a slightly slimmer fan might cause less noise since it would leave a little gap between it and the grill in the case.

     

    Aren't the quiet fans just operating at slower speed than the noisy ones? Then I believe a resistor on the fan cable might give the same result. I already did this in a Mac LC475 which brought down the noise considerably. It also has a CF card reader so sitting under the desk it's practically noiseless to me.

    I have put an Ultrasatan inside my Mega STE, with the abovementioned adapter from Alan H. It works very well and I can use my Satandisk with the external connection. My only gripe is that I lost the LED activity light on the front. I've been considering switching to the Gigafile but also think it's a tad expensive.

     

    I've also been considering removing the fan but another option is to put a resistance on it to make it run slower. Will try that if I can bother to remove the case top sometime.
