Well folks, I am going to take the plunge and buy a HD.  One question comes
to mind about power.  Will the ICD host adaptor need a line from the power
supply?  Will it be the same type that goes into the drive mech?  Any hints
or suggestions will be welcome, I will post a summery.  I plan to use a power
supply for a PC case (200w), and it has 3 of the standard 4 (or maybe 5) pin 
trapezoidal power plugs coming out of it.  Also, what software is best/required
to boot my system from my HD, and to get around the 16mb partition size limit?
