OT: HDW

Background:
	I've become convinced that an external HD is a better choice for 
archival storage of family pictures, etc. than CDs or DVDs. Since I had 
a spare 200GB drive, I decided to pick up an external enclosure on sale 
and put the two together.

I GOOFED!
	The drive is a std IDE (aka parallel ATA). I found an Adaptec enclosure 
and a nice price and bought it. OOps--it's SATA (and I can't take it 
back--I've already used the UPC code to send in for the rebate). I need 
to trade or sell one so as to end up with two that match.

I'll trade either one or sell for what I have invested (both were good 
deals and are unused). If anyone's interested, email me off-list and 
we'll work something out.
