Leonard ----------------------------- I'll stick in my dime's worth, and ask a question about IDE drives in general. Re Fujitsu, in 1991 I bought a 1.08G SCSI drive mfg by them that ran flawlessly for 8+ years before it died. Consider this simply another data-point. The question: How reliable are the new IDE drives? Is there any published research comparing SCSI and IDE reliability? gary > - -- Gary D.
