Hello again, August.

 AA> But now I suddenly have new expenses. Last night shortly after 10pm my
 AA> water pump blew a seal. There were "warnings" about that
early on, and I
 AA> had already made plans to replace it, but the major event was sudden.
 AA> It's at least $340 for a new pump.

	Is it beyond an engineer to repair such a pump ?  :-) I have repaired one
of these if it is a "jet-pump" that you have. These seal are
commercially common and easy to replace. Is it the up seal or the bottom
one, or a side gasket ?

 AA> These are hdds that I would just plop inside and be good to go? Might be
 AA> prudent to have those.

	When I get back home, I will forward it to you. It is a 40 G HD but same
size as the HD in the 1300. I will also include the required SW to make
that clone. If I remember well, you only have one of these two TP that has
a CD device. You could clone the CD one and then exchange the HD with the
other one. Just an idea.
