Well, I got the drive. It's a laptop drive. I feel like an idiot..
Anyway, it's an IDE, and I found on eBay an adapter that will
match the 44pin plug to a 40, but it was already sold. So I
sent the guy an email to ask if he could refer me to a source.
The adapter kit includes mounting rails for a pc, it went for
$5.95 + S&H (or thereabouts..) I've got $20- tied up in this
project (so far) and for another $10 it's worth it to me to have
double the storage I have now (1.5g to 3.0g). I'm not real clear
on why I should multi-partition my C drive and the new drive..
Thanks to you who have responded. I've also got a bid in on the
Upgrading & Repair 10th ed. by Scott Mueller. When I get the
parts all together and hopefully installed correctly, I'll post the
results. After that, I wanna install more memory (currently 16m),
a PCMCIA card reader, and a CDRW.
I also have a 486 (8m) that is running dos5, I would like to upgrade
it to 32m and install a 56k modem and dos software that'll allow me
isp access. It is my understanding that finding a modem that's not
Win plug-n-play is difficult and/or expensive. Is this correct? Also, I
installed and played around with Arachne software a while back and
found it to be difficult, can someone recommend a dos-based browser
and/or mail reader that's simple and reliable?
