2.5″ drives can be mounted internally, and external devices can be plugging into a 25-pin connector on the back. On the SCSI-TV for the CDTV, the drive mounts upside-down with the connector toward the rear of the SCSI-TV. On the SCSI-TV/570 for the A570, the drive mounts right-side-up with the connector toward the rear of the SCSI-TV/570. • Do you sell hard drives? Yes, but only within Canada, due to warranty considerations. Because of the volatility of the market, contact us for current pricing. • Can the internal drive be powered by the CDTV or A570? Yes, if you are using a 2.5″ hard drive. • How do you connect power to the internal hard drive? The adaptor kit provides a simple plug-in connector for powering the 2.5″ drive. • Cost for external hard drive setup Approximately $100 to $200 for a case with power supply, plus the cost of the hard drive, plus the cost of the SCSI-TV.
