You apparently obtained another drive and installed it. If you find a SCSI drive to install it will not use the same cable as the ATPI and will then free up the connector to which the ATAPI CD-ROM was installed. These SCSI drives should be available on eBay. -- Harry Henning [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
