Yes, well... I am using a USB device, and I was so brain dead as to be 
changing the IDE setup... Unfortunately
this PC board I don't think as an official IDE interface. It has the 
mini for a laptop disk, and I don't have a
converter handy...

I think I may install the system on the disk with another machine, 
older, more IDE interfaces, etc. then
bring the disk back to my target.

Thanks,
John Clark.
