I actually own that FirePort 40 and after working with several guys over at
LSI Logic (the now owners of SYMBIOS), I can assure you that XP works with
it as well. Unfortunately, my FirePort is busy running in another machine
with dual 4giggers.

Um yes, I have had one or two of my emails picked up recently from keywords
that had nothing to do with what was being looked for.

ASUS micro-ATX motherboard with built in video and

Hmmm... good price!
30gb ultra IDE hard drive: $0 (I already have this
sitting around, but a 2nd
to mirror might be nice)
If you want to go SCSI, I have a spare Diamond Fireport 40 I could send you
- single-channel, Ultra-Wide SCSI-3 - works wonderfully under *nix, and any
Winders short of XP. I might be able to scare up a SCSI drive as well...
but the biggest I own is 9G, so if you needed something bigger, you'd need
to look for donations (but I might have a line on some "less expensive"
18Giggers...)
1U rackmount chassis: $150
Nice price - if you don't mind my asking, where'd you land that price at,
and either 1) does that include a PCI riser card, or at least 2) are they
available for that case I have a MicroATX Celery (566) that I'd like to
rackmount...
HTH, and thankz,
