Haven't worked out what material to use yet anyway, as my machine does run quit hot regularely and often crashes- especially when I use the modem (3com PCMCIA). HAve been looking into the CPU idle routines on one of the pages, but the shareware has timed out so I can't try it.. >Danger Will Robinson...if you don't leave that unformatted bit, sooner of I'll ensure that I reformat teh disk and leave some space at the end. Going from 1.6 to 6.4 GB it's not going to be a great loss <g> >>I am in the process of getting a 2.5" to 3.5" IDE adapter >I'm keen to know where you got the adaptor...I had to go to 45thSt New York >for mine, and it's a long way to go back to get another...
