Thanks for the suggestions. I don't know about PATA, but my impression is that converting between interfaces can cause problems. Which of 1 an d2 are less problematic, if you know? I don't want to go external, since yes, that would add clutter and reduce portability. Note I don't have enough reputation to vote up, otherwise would do so. Also, the usual advice is to wait 24 to 48 hrs before accepting an answer.
