Greg,
i've found that most friendly local computer stores will _give_ you a whole
bag of supplies. CompUSA even gave me a whole bunch of screws once, just go
talk to the dudes in their service department. A local store is always the
best bet though.
if you want getto-fast though, just strip a section of really small
solid-core wire and bend that baby around. :) And BTW, i had a drive that
didnt work without a jumper informing it that it was master.
