Still here, the delete key is getting a lot of use on the 'forum though. 
I'm v busy right now and my main hard disk is playing silly buggers and 
needs cajoling into spinning up. Took 2 hours of faffing tonight to get 
it to work.

Can anyone tell me what type of HDD I have? I "borrowed" an Adaptec 
AHA2940 PCI SCSI card from work together with an ancient double-height 
3.5" 9.1Gb Quantum drive plus a Seagate Cheetah 3.5Gb. These two drives 
were old when I knobbled them, and that was in '99, They've worked 
flalessly running my Win98 PC ever since, but the Seagate's getting 
temperamental. I  know I should be able to find a cheap replacement with 
oodles more capacity but I haven't  a clue what they are - all I know is 
I used to call it "Ultra wide SCSI" - it has a smaller D-type connector 
instead of the ones that look like IDE but are longer (SCSI 2 ?). The 
drive in question doesn't even have teh D-type connector on it, but as 
longer wierd connector which includes the power rails! It then has a 
little daughterboard that goes on this giving me my bus connector and 
standard 4-pin power. I haven't worked with PC's for 5 years now and am 
well out of touch!
