"No problem," he You don't say for sure, but if the connectory is for the internal 3.5" drives, and only one pin is missing, then that pin is the key. What appears to be the broken end is left in the connector. I thought I had broken it until I looked in the manual and noticed that for this pin, it said "KEY". Perhaps your friend didn't break the 2000 at all, and went through all that trouble for nothing. > William LeFebvre > Department of Computer Science > Rice University > >---------- Rodger Anderson (hplabs!hpcea!hpmrtca!rodger)
