Ok.. i can keep an IDE ATA133 drive for menage all that things... >Best regards, >-- >Ivan :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Simone Sestini [ SS971-RIPE ] Plug IT s.p.a. - Technical Office Via Galileo Ferraris 216 52100 Arezzo Titles: System and Network Administrator Data Transmission Manager Fax +39-199-4400-88 E-mail simone.sestini_at_plugit.net Web http://www.plugit.it ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Received on 2003-03-31 07:23:22
