Greetings: It does work and I tried it on two machines "sneaker
netting" a large file between a normal ATX type machine with it's
integral USB port and an older AT machine with it's retrofitted USB
set up.. Now I have to retrofit an USB extension to the front of the
cases, like the newer boxes.. <grin>

I've been reading about the new serial drives with interest
because it may mean my sons, who must have the latest and greatest,
might be passing on to me their "old" 40-80Gb IDE drives, as they've
done in the past with the 2.1's and 4.3's... <grin> There is an
advantage to being behind the times, eh?
I hope the vendor will let you keep the drive since you've
done the leg work.... And - Slack 9.1?? I haven't really started to
digest 9.0 yet. Ugh....
