I was at CompUSA yesterday getting another fan for my rig, when I saw an 80Gig Western Digital HD for $39.95. I picked it up so that I can save Ghost images. I have two questions:
1) The new drive is only ATA100. If it is on the same IDE cable as my main ATA133 drive, will it slow down the main drive to ATA100?
2) If I wanted to dual boot this second drive on Linux, can I keep a partition on the new drive as a Windows partion so I can save Ghost images of my windows drive?

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
