Well, it looks like the fun finally is over.

[This is the follow-up to the MicroAge rant]

Once the machine got into the hands of IBM EZserve, everything went as
well as could be expected. 1-day turnaround, and the machine was in my
hands yesterday. I got phone updates at every juncture from the rep
handling my case, and the machine (cross your trackpoints) seems to be
stable and happy. The Moral: *only* work directly with IBM.

I even sort-of got my new HD to work. Anyone have pointers to
information on how to configure and install a 3.2g in the Ultrabay.
Someone said I had to use fdisk. What's that (said the 14-year Macintosh
veteran)?

PS: Anyone else considering going to FAT32 but not WIN98? Is it worth
it? Could I do it for only the new HD and leave the other drive the same?
