OK John you have me hooked. I had forgot newegg and they are the
best for parts. I will order from them.
Now how to put this f7 on the new HD :-( I have had no help at
all so I will do it as I have in the past. I use cp=copy and the
switches -av >> file and that allows me to just let the copy happen and
when over read file and see what happened 8-)
I have done this more times than I needed to. Worked every time ;-)
