Why bother with internal. You can just hang an external drive on the firewire port.
Good point but it's not a priority as my main system just died. I think it's the DAC, it reports that it's getting signal over the optical port but it is not doing what it is supposed to do with it. :-) Yes I field stripped it and tested the fuses with a VOM that I had to dig out of the closet. It looks perfectly good but I fear it may have suffered an unfortunate reversal. I'll get around to checking out the mobo tomorrow, it's unclear whether the problem may be there. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
