Hi..
Thanks to all who offered advice on the drive...A local vendor has offered me a
Samsung and a Fujitsu to try out....He intends to start selling machines
preloaded with linux and will let me have the drives to try out.......I do have
a couple of Samsung drives in this machine so hope they will be ok but there
again it is not costing me anything !!
Regarding Civileme's comments on Stampede...I had problems loading that
on the boxes here but I took it to work and tried it out on a H/P box and it
went ok first time...Did not get a chance to look inside the box and as I
retired the next day will never find out the spec.....
