Could you use a small IDE boot drive and then have a relatively new IDE or SATA controller card with a larger drive plugged into it? That's the arrangement i use at home for my file server; the motherboard is too old to support large drives but a newer controller handles them just fine. Of course, then you'd have to worry about the radiation output of that controller card... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dan Ramaley Dial Center 118, Drake University Network Programmer/Analyst 2407 Carpenter Ave +1 515 271-4540 Des Moines IA 50311 USA
