Thanks for both of your offers, though I think Tim Burgess' rackmount
server has onboard ATA100.  The only real benefit to ATA133 would be the
ability to install even larger hard drives.  Can we afford an even
larger hard drive?  I think we would be fine with 120GB which is fairly
cheap and without the cost of an additional PCI card.  I'm not sure if
his rackmount server can handle a PCI card too.

I may have missed my chance of getting the server from Tim Burgess'
office.  He said he was going to be out of the country for a while
starting September 21st, and I was supposed to pick up the server
earlier this week from his office. Does anyone have his contact info?
