Larry is absolutely correct. I will add one thing though, sometimes a master of Brand A does not work with a slave of Brand B.

At least if both HD's are the same brand, there is a good chance they will work together! -- Just a message from Doug... -------------------------------------------- http://users.adelphia.net/~slugg0/index.html -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
