[muglo] Re: Hard Drive Sizes

Tee will be able to tell you the size (if he remembers) but I suspect
that you've got a laptop drive (or perhaps a SCSI?) that requires an
adapter (see the link I posted earlier).

PS If it's a SCSI then you're S.O.L. as far as hooking it up through
your USB device (though, I doubt it's SCSI).
