No no, I think you got the quoting confused (either that or I did, in which case oops)
*I* don't have any problem with drive space. I'm the one with 4 channels of IDE (2 drives per channel). I was just agreeing with what he said about the problem, in that without a free PCI slot or IDE channel, USB is an ok option. When 7 harddrives and 1 dvdr is too many for my poor case and not enough for me, I'll get an NFS server :-) - Jeff On Mon, 21 Mar 2005 15:40:44 -0600, Ron Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, 2005-03-21 at 16:09 -0500, Jeff Simpson wrote: > > On Mon, 21 Mar 2005 16:02:01 -0500, [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > [snip] > > > With a lack of PCI slots and IDE channels, USB seems like the next > > available option. > > Too bad that firewire isn't built onto your mobo.
