Ugh. The Bigfoots are _crap_. Or, more to the point, they're designed for the low end of the Windows market. If you want a 6G disk, look at the new high-end IDE quantums, or the 6G Seagate. You may even find that buying two 3G disks is close to cost-effective, in which case the IBM DAQA-33240 is an excellent deal. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
