Sorry buddy, I have a 40GB ATA/100 behind an ACARD SCSIDE that only runs at 4-4.6MB/s depending on what mood it's in. Lucky I have an 840av that does 16.1MB/s for video capture ;). -- -- Mark Benson Any spelling errors are attributed to PEBKAC SilValleyPirate - AIM silicon_valley_pirate_uk - Yahoo!
