The music computer is now back in one piece. The main drive, a Western Digital Caviar 205AA dating from 1999, had finally given up the ghost. Fortunately I was able to use an IBM drive that had been sitting in my little-used much-neglected linux server. The Linux machine used to be a firewall and web dev server, but I don't do that much freelance web dev now, and the machine is a little old (2004), and I now have a Netgear hub with firewall. I finally upgraded the music machine to XP. Fortunately, the 80GB recording disk is intact, and the extra IDE channel card is working, so I have everything on master IDE channels. Now I have to find the driver disk for the board, for the inbuilt network, then register XP, then reinstall all the software....
Happy Birthday.
