Holy cow! you have to be kidding! Wow, wish I had thought of that when I had a 5300.

I don't think the Zips are made the same. I found that out with my external 100s that are SCSI and an attempt to do that with them. I found out then that the Zip component is just that, a component, and not components. I was bummed. So be careful before you attempt this that you are doing it AFTER the warranty is up on the drive (and check to see if they have a return going on any of those drives). -- Ryan Coleman Coleman Web/Internet Services [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.coleman-web.net -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
