Did - it won't work. Even downloaded a supposed W2K driver for it - no go.

I've decided that the best, and lest expensive, solutiuon is to get a 20 Gig (not Mega) HD for the R30 - less than $50 with the caddy.
It looks pretty simple to swap HD when I'm going to talk with the kids, and then put the W2K back in to do my work. I suppose I'll
eventually have to move everything over to the XP drive- but I'll do so kicking and screaming.  I much prefer W2K over XP.  As
long as I can continue to write Excel/VBA and use Excel 2003 I'll be happy.  The client I do this work for has no desire to upgrade.

Well Tom, I am an old fart - (63 last Nov); although no one ever guesses my age (usually off by 10 years).
