Hi
Why don't you go for best of both worlds and buy a external USB case that
takes a standard IDE drive. That way you can pick a drive model of your
choice and still use it on the laptop, and with a upgrade to win98 and a
PCI to USB card on the desktop you could use it there as well. The cases
retail for about $150au.
Add to that the cost of a internal IDE drive and it's comparable to the
external HP and ZIP models.
