Lo-Tech Hard drives
Hi Ga__a
You Might believe this, out of the 14 Drives that i have here (IDE) 10 of them Auto Boot and the other 4 don’t
You would think that on percentage i would have picked 1 of these to put in both IDE projects. ( I built Ians version for him ).*
The drives that work seem to be OLDER drives (?? Version 1 ATA/IDE ??)
