It's mightily<br />banged up, but fortunately still functions -- mostly. USB seems to be DOA.<br />The DVD drive popped out and is stuck in that position, due to physical<br />damage to the case. (The USB on that side is bent, too!) :^( :^( :^(<br /><br />Since I cannot use my handy external USB drive to back things up, and<br />since that device is IDE, while the laptop's drive is SATA ("Serial ATA-150",<br />specifically), I was wondering if anyone had either of the following, that I<br />could borrow once I get a replacement laptop:<br /><br /> * A SATA->IDE converter<br /> * An external (USB) SATA-based hard drive enclosure<br /><br />Worst case, it looks like either of those could be had for about ~$20,<br />but since I'd only need it once (or rarely, at most), I figured I'd ask<br />and see if anyone out here had one I
could borrow.<br /><br />Thanks in advance!<br /><br />-- <br />-bill!<br />Sent from my computer<br /><hr /><br />vox-tech mailing list<br />vox-tech@lists.lugod.org<br /><a href="http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech">http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech</a><br /></pre></blockquote></div></body></html>
