But you have to be aware that many of these IDE drives can only live with a second drive of the same brand on the same cable... I had of course identical drives, and it worked, though some fiddling with HDToolBox was necessary (you have to store the info on the drive that there is a second one). -- Best Regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // Private Site in Frankfurt, Germany \X/ Email to: peterk@combo.ganesha.com Employed at Amiga Technologies GmbH in Bensheim, Germany Currently only rarely reachable via email and news, sorry.
