I've not had the opportunity to test the drive yet (2 weeks old it was -
20Gb!)
The mb is for a pentium pro. I expect the chip still works but I guess it's
pretty useless unless I scan eBay for a replacement.

8-) no i think it's pretty dead.

I wasn't entirely serious asking for suggestions I just thought it was a
funny question a bit different from "my vga card doesn't work".

My back hurts more than looking at my dead PC but I'm sure the situation
will reverse.

Thank you for your emails of support at this difficult time.
