I was also wondering if the Firebox II might be put to any other/additional uses? It's a cool little red box containing a PII/200, 2 PCI slots and an expansion port that I don't know anything about, but I expect I can get an adapter that will enable me to plug a 1.2Gig laptop HDD into it. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better Heartthrob.
