Hi All, Possibly better late than never but I bought a USB external drive bay (eBay) and stuck the 4.3G drive that was in my Compaq Presario 1260 (before I upgraded it to 20G) in the bay. I then tried it in the Compaq but it looked like it couldn't cope (LED indicator flashing red / yellow and sounding like a power issue). However this USB bay has two USB connectors (the extra one just picks up more power) but the Compaq has only one USB port ;-( I then tried it on an unpowered USB hub on m y PC with similar results. The Acer Aspire 1353XC (I was sent as a replacement for the dropped Compaq ;-( ) was able to power the external drive on just one of it's 4 USB 2 ports ;-) Shame the Acer went back a day later because of a faulty Ethernet port .. ;-( Ho hum .. All the best .. T i m p.s. I *might* actually get round to fitting the 4.3G drive in the 50CT soon ... ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
