Mark,
OOO, I like this even better. I have an old VW van held together
with zip ties and may build a house with them one day :-).
Another question, do I transfer the jumper to the new drive?
I think I don't because I didn't have to when put an ibm hard
drive in a 5300 I once had.
thanks again,
Randy
