[aclug-L] Re: External Hard drive enclosure

["Jonathan Hall" <flimzy@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have one that supposedly has both USB 2.0 and Firewire ports, but I've
only ever used the USB 2.0 ports.  It seems to work fine, but it's a lot
slower than plugging the drive in directly to the IDE channel, but for my
needs that's fine.
