Heyup, OK its OT but i've posted this in various places and got nowhere..... So I'll try you lot....
The HD on my netbook has died.... a bit of work tells me it's a 1.8" PATA ZIF 5mm 4,800rpm..... all cool till you try and buy a replacement out of your limited dole money!!!!.... However I have found 1.8" PATA LIF drives at a reasonable price.... >From what i can tell ZIF and LIF are just different manufacturers terms for the same connector.... but of course getting proper tech data out of there sales guys is like chinese water torture (slow and gradually drives you nuts....) Anyone know?... Bryn (sent from my netbook thats running antiX off a USB stick for now :-).... Never tried it before and liking it!) -- Next meeting: Bournemouth? TBD, Wednesday 2010-10-06 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://bit.ly/4sACa
