[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 1013213, member: 325666"] [ATTACH=full]106238[/ATTACH] As for the IDE drives ... Had they been larger ...40 or 80 gb ... I certainly could find them a home .. Another Project I run is to keep Philips WAC/S 700 and 7000 units running by creating from scratch suitable replacement hard drives .. The most recent one was an 80 for a good friend and group member on TMF (Television Magazine Forum.) He sent me the blank IDE 2 weeks ago ...and I created for him a bootable drive ..which he then had collected by courier from Somerset. Those WAC units were well ahead of their time in both functionality and appearance. They still sound superb ..but Philips no longer support or provide spares. ..and suffered from Hard drive failure ... The only way to fix the lcd displaying 'Boot' ..endlessly is to fit a replacement hard drive ..with a good OS (linux based) [/QUOTE]
