    	Ok, I'll tell. It's due to the fact that I'm a techno-weenie and I
    just can bear the thought of having an extra hard-drive space open and
    not filling it since I have the other HD sitting right on my desk. Sad,
    isn't it? :)

    re: .23 by FABSIX::J_SADIN
    
    Jim,
    
    I hope you won't do it. (i.e. install the "spare" disk as slave to your
    new disk)  Put it on another IDE channel if you have to.  Don't
    compromise your primary IDE channel which runs at a higher optimal rate
    than your 40 MB disk is capable.  It'll have to slow down to remain
    compatible.

    	Thanks for the advice, Bill. I hadn't thought of it that way. No
    sense crippling myself. :)
    
    	I guess the 40MB conner continues to be a paperweight.

Not much loss.  You can barely put a desktop shortcut in 40 MB  :-)

    Especially in a 1G partition.
