I was trying to avoid mentioning that 'name' in case one of the readers
got upset about 'commercial advertising'. If buying small parts from
them, get it from China, means waiting 2 - 3 weeks, at a really low
price. Some SATA motherboards have two PATA connections.

'That name' was where I got my current development machine at a good
price and without having to pay the almost compulsory Windoze Tax.
