I"m sure that I # could find space for them in my old mac portable . . . come to think # of it, various partitions on a 40G drive should be overkill for # bacdking up a 40M . . . :) Luckily, most of the older Mac portables had a SCSI connection unlike the newer PowerBooks. But there are FireWire external drive arrays that one could purchase (it even has a spot for a battery so you can travel with it without carrying around a wall-wart or draining your laptop power). Prolly the ol' SyQuest drives would be great for backing up that 40MB hard drive... hehe -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
