Hey Spots, great to see you back.... Actually a 3rd party already wrote a driver to this. I haven't tried it yet since I'm total NTFS. Here's the URL... sysinternals.com The folks here are a bunch of ex Microsoftees who went out on their own. They know NT in and out. They have lots of great freeware and shareware gadgets to enhance NT. The read-only version is free. you have to buy the read-write version... Enjoy.. Sean

PII 400 system $1299 I was at Computer City and found the following computer and bought it because of the price. May take it back in the next few days, depending. It doesn't have all the specific brand name components that I would like, but it just seemed to be a pretty good deal. Any opinions? PII 400 Intel 'Seatle' BX board, onboard sound, 4 pci (unoccupied) 1 AGP 68 SDRAM (don't know the brand) ATI graphics AGP: 8 SGRAM, 128 bit, 230 ramdac 56 kflex modem (I think its a motorola) 2x DVD ROM 8.4 gig Western Digital HD - they don't seem to get good reviews Mouse/keyboard/Win 95 Mid Tower 200 watt power - I would like more power. Is this enough? 3 year Warrenty/part/labor - fixed at local CompUSA $149 extra This computer was built by Intel for Computer City. Since CompUSA is buying them out, they don't want this computer to take away from customers buying name brand computers so they priced it to sell. I bought the last one and decided to also purchase the warranty figuring if the hard drive goes bad in 3 years, I'll atleast get my warranty out of a new one. I could just take the warranty off after reading what has been said about not buying the extended. Would anyone else have jumped on this deal? Anyone care to rate the quality for the price? How good of deal is it? Thanks, S.W.
