Ya I know putting a 9.5mm hard drive into an 8.5mm hole is dumb. The current discussion relates to a 9.5mm thing living in a 9.55mm hole that used to be an 8.5mm hole before someone came along and made it bigger in ways that didn't stress the motherboard. I'm sure you'd agree that its quite possible to put a square peg into a round hole once you make the hole square ... > What I do NOT get however is how a 9.5mm hard drive can cause damage if >its a loose drop fit into the case (after removing all the necessary junk of >course).

I will wait. Ooh Ooh Ooh do I get all the libbys that die from other reasons? Line forms on my right, overflow into the carpark if necessary, feel free to pull faces at Pres as he waits for his set of libbys ;-) - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
