As an update to this little saga - the vendor of the most recent card
that I purchased asked me to send some photos of the installation. So I
reinstalled the card - and again it did not work - and I proceeded to
get several snaps of it to document how it was installed. I then
rebooted the PC..
Maybe they should have stocked more duck tape:

Modegreen is a recursive form of mondegreen.
Somewhere around here I still have several partial rolls of GSA cloth

Speaking of Duck Tape and Green. I live about 35 miles from Electric
Boat in Groten/New London, and that facility at one time supplied it's
own Duck Tape, which was referred to as EB Green due to it's distinctive

I first heard it called "Duct-tape" and thought "Duck Tape" was a

referring to a different meaning of "duck".

RadioShack probably has it for quite a bit less. Unfortunately due to
circumstances, RadioShacks have become somewhat hard to find, and may no
longer stock a full range of parts.

Yeah - even the DVD is a SATA device. I am hopeful since the second card
was recognized by the system when it was powered up. I guess I could
always get some tin snips and "modify" the case to gain access to the

I didn't think about that "catch", a PC power supply without any molex

are all SATA, and there are no CD/DVD-drives (and floppy-drives! ;-) )
