Well, I'm not going to worry about this much longer, my ATAPI drive is starting to flake out, and I've been eying the new Toshiba 6.7X SCSI. Apparently it can start pulling data off the drive WHILE it's still spinning up, and has 120ms seek time. The price at the computer show is US$205 right now, and I do have that nice Adaptec 2842VL so I am running away from IDE as quickly as my pocketbook will carry me! :-) ---Jake
