But I was new at the PC game, and thought it was broken (since it needs drivers I never had) and threw it out I had an SCSI (Scuzzy) 80GB tape drive, it was dead though, it and its reader. Sad, it was cool, old school hardware is sweet. Fun to toy with.. Unless it involves jumpers or dip switches... I hate those... Seriously hate them... Oh, I found this old 8 track player on the curb over the summer... I dunno if it WORKS, I gotta get my dad to dig out his 8 tracks to see if it does. To stay on topic, I love poking around INSIDE stuff to see how it works, always have. And... GAH! The compaq based system I'm trying to install W2K on keeps going into a rebooting LOOP. Thought it was the CPU, RAM, GPU, everything, gotta be the board or PSU though, I've changed everything else. QUOTE I hate those... Seriously hate them. I collect jumpers.
