Although it's going a bit out-of-topic, the situation is that the Windows desease is very effective here. Only unused, redundant computers are available for my alien Unix experiments. Hence my trouble with ata2 on an old PC. However, I'm not too unhappy with all this, since one of my hobbies has become to give discarded computers a second Unix life, in which they sometimes outperform the newer ones powered by Windows..... Having one such old PC now running FreeBSD and being used for data acquisition, is one of my personal victories in the lab :). Rob. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
