Who said a "thumb" drive? I meant the "full sized" drives. Yeah, they would be a hassle, but the USB cable can be long enough that the drive and its power supply would be outside the z9's frame. 80 Gb USB hard drives are CHEAP. At least compared to the equivalent amount of space on a 3390 emulate volume. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
