You're right in that it's going into a datacenter.  I already have 
something that looks like (and probably works like) the second one; 
what I don't have is a large enough CF.  And it's going into the 
datacenter tomorrow.

I've found a 40G drive of which I know the history, and I'm going to use 
it temporarily, while looking for a small SSD.

This is a temporary router; it will be pulled and replaced some night in 
the future <smile>.

Thanks!
