I guess I could go hunting for some patch cables.... FYI and maybe OT -- For about $15 you can get an external USB<->IDE/SATA connector at Fry's and possibly other shops.

It's handy for emergency backups or scavening data off failed machines too. ymmv, C.G. -- powerofprimes@gmail.com Carlos Macedo Gomes _sic itur ad astra_ --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
