I just remembered that and found it useful.  Many times I wanted to re-
init a drive and had to restart until I started syncing first.

I hope it's not a heat thing... I tried to arrange them a bit better 
this time, so there's some space in between the IDE-and-SCSI at the 
bottom and the backup-IDE-and-floppy at the top.  (Before I had the 
three HDs, space, and then the floppy.  I also moved the CD drive to 
the top bay away from all that.)  It doesn't seem to be melting the 
case so much now.  ;)

Thanks,

Kev
