(See Hardware Note below, if relevant.) After few minutes of internet search, I am quite pessimistic about this. I would however be very interested to hear from list members who had an experience with this equipment. In case my recycling attempt is doomed to fail, I would be glad to get a suggestion for similar harware that can be found in France/Europe. Local hardware resellers do have some SATA controller PCI cards but none of them is able to tell which chip stands on the card. --=20 Thanks for your attention, All the best, Micha=EBl
