anyone of value with good negotiating skills can get almost anything

they want. if you are good, it is a sellers market, if your boss wont

give it to you, then you just go to someone who will.

no need to put in all the detail rod, just get the broad picture right.

demonstrably you couldn't even do that. i included the detail coz you

i suppose that if your understanding of the principles of ide is so poor

that you dont even know that both drives have active controllers, it is

a waste of time to try and discuss the more technical details with you.

just stick to downloading the jumper details off the manufacturer's bbss

and impressing the technically challenged. if you keep away from the

techo stuff you may retain just a little credibility.
