It's a taller drive. Still has the tiny-size IDE interface normal on laptop disks, but the taller bay will allow for either older drive bays (perhaps he intends to slide an already-debian drive into his new machine) or for larger capacities (you can only fit so many platters on a 9.5mm drive). Beware also that some manufacturers say 9mm and mean it; they can't take 9.5mm drives either, or they can with a -very- tight fit, and some danger of heating problems. Mostly those are your pocket-tops; I don't think you'll have that problem when looking for the bigger-screen systems. * Heather Stern * star@ many places... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
