NOTE:  This is the second time I'm sending this...hopefully this one
will go through.  If the first magically appears...sorry about that!


Hey everyone -

I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up.  It looks like the WebDT can only
support drives up to 8 GB...the laptop drives I have are all 40 GB and
they don't even show up in the BIOS.

The 1 GB drives from WebDT directly are $36 each, I'm not sure about the 2
GB drives (which would be better) but I'm awaiting a reply from support on
that one.

I could go ahead and order a 2 GB compact flash card and reader from
Newegg for about $20 shipped and see if that will work but I figured I'd
ask what everyone wants to do.  Either way there's no way to get XP or XPe
on these things before early next week.  If I don't get many replies by
midnight tonight I'll go ahead and order the stuff from Newegg to get a
single machine going (hopefully) and if it doesn't work I'll take the hit
and keep the parts.

Let me know what you guys think -
