Ah, changes in hardware standards are the way of the world. I have some ISA cards lying around still, but no machines which could possibly use them (: I didn't realize IDE was no longer being provided, though. I bought a new top-of-the-line computer last year and it still had them. Oh well, they had to go sometime (: I think the last time I was annoyed about such a change was when you couldn't get floppy drives anymore.. -- Liam
