I found a way in but it's clumsy.
Instead of following the the link to "all hard drives"
from computer peripherals I do a search on "hard drive"
from their home page.
Only thing is it comes back with every computer system
and MPS using a drive as well as just hard drives.
Some 103 hits spanning 6 pages for something like 15 drives.

Downloaded a .PDF the the other day on Ultra ATA/133 and
ATA/66 compatibility as I'm well behind the curve on this stuff
and snagged another worm file attachment but this one
got caught quick and cleaned with my new protocols
in place, minutes in fact and I wasn't online for it to
spread nor not having reloaded Windows did it even have a chance
to execute.
Even the Pentium in the other room will require 
a new I/O card to reap the benefits of using ATA/133
however from my research both machines will be able to
employ a ATA/133 drive as is only far below their best
data tranfer rate. Have to unblock a pin on a 80 wire core
cable or use the regular 40 pin core cable to hook
up to older stuff from my source.
