It' is indeed a desktop case unit. Both the CD-ROM and Zip drives are on Internal ATA 1, while the main hard drive is on Internal ATA 0, according to the System Profiler. The CD-ROM drive is set as master. The main HD, however, I have no idea about (though I can't fathom how it might've come set as a slave drive from the factory). How do I go about accessing it, since it seems to be under the main cluster of drives? -Adam
