Yeah, but I have a crap memory ;-)

Okay. Thanks. I'll be getting more with my AmigaONE anyway :-)

Fair comment. Do you get notified before hand when a company such as Power
sends you hardware for review? - i.e. could you ask for a Flyer to be loaned
to do the review? Of course this would only help when the hardware came from
Power... :-(

Oh right. So it might actually make sense to go with SCSI (not with this
drive of course) so that the CD drive doesn't slow down the hard drives on
IDE...?
