Can I put most any hard drive on a newer computer to achieve this?  I have an
HP Pavilion 8380, Pentium II, 400 Mhz.  Would be pulling a hard drive from an
old Magitronic Pentium, 100 or 133 Mhz.  Can't remember what kind of hard
drive, but it's one of the majors.  Can I just change the jumpers, plug it
in, and make it fly?
