I don't think the 5161 is worth your time unless you want it for collection purposes. There are 3 much better ways to add hard drives to your pc.
1. Replace the 63W power supply with an XT power supply and install an internal harddrive.
2. Get a SCSI controller and an external HDD with its own power supply.
3. Order an XT IDE controller (are these hard to get now), and hook it up to a compact flash adapter
I've personally done al three in that order. I recommend the XT-IDE controller if you can get it.
