...there's spare boxen lying around here. There aren't. That's one of my standing gripes -- I'm thinking of pitching for a removeable disk caddy as a workaround, because getting data on (or off) old disks is a fairly common task. That and VMWare buys me a virtual PC for the purposes of file transfer.
\r\n\r\nThough, if I'm lucky, there's a carcass being rebuilt for some purpose (the beauty of apt-get dist-upgrade not having been learnt here) lying around which I can drop a drive into temporarially. That's a fallback.
