Hi, I am new to this forum, but I think it is great. I have a snap 4000 that the power supply went bad in. Snap tech said there were no more power supplies availiable (3P Pacific Power Products -- Model PRO120-3) I searched the net but could not find one.

At their recommendation, I found a Dell 705N (Snap 4100 according to the seller) with no drives. I installed the drives, set them all to master as per Snap tech support, but the drives are not recognized. The drives are Maxtor: specs are:

Model: 4D080H4
Maximum Capacity of 80.0 GB
Fast ATA/Enhanced IDE compatible
Ultra ATA/100 Data Transfer Rate
2 MB SDRAM Cache Buffer
< 12 ms Seek Time
5400 RPM

Anyway, the hard drives do not show up in any of the administrative programs.

Can you advise me on how to set this up. I am really at a loss. Or, can you direct me to some place that sells the old power supplies for the Snap 4000.

Thanks in advance for your help.
Don
