For a customer, I just put a 160gig drive into an external USB case and
partitioned it as two 80 gig drives. Works like a champ.
Now he can back up all that stuff he's been losing when his OLD 6.4 gig HDs
go ker-plunk.
The drive was a 5-year-warranty Seagate ($49 after rebate) and the external
case was $16 after rebate. Less than $80 for it didn't seem to be a bad deal
to me. I haven't tried it on a 16-mHz XT but I feel pretty sure it will work
on his new Dell. It did have an overlay CD with it, but wasn't needed.
