The LS-120 drives are more trouble than benefit IMHO, especially for NT (or Linux also I would assume). We have LS-120 drives installed in our NT computer lab hardware at school, and they have only ever been used as regular floppy drives (wasteful shame). Unless it costs the same as an ordinary floppy drive, I would rather put the extra money towards more RAM or a CD-ROM writer etc. PS, I have been thinking of building my next computer system around an ABIT BP6 for several months now, it certainly seems like a logical choice. 128MB RAM, ATA66 drive, and probably ATI Rage128-based video card. When it happens I will likely run it all on NT 4.0.

Potter must be a Scottish name. gggg Those are some prices! How on earth did you get 8.4 gig hard disks for $45? Michael, you have a moral obligation to share the sources of these deals with this board!!! Thinking of you and your job reminds me when I worked for an investment firm that sent out investment packages to all 130 investors via FedEx, even if they lived two blocks away in New York. I wanted to cut my company a special 50% off deal and deliver them myself - and quicker to boot!!! peter peter
