I was unclear with what I said, the USB cable is a Mini-IDE cable, that can 
only hook up to the hard drive. It has DSL on it, but it won't initialize 
because of lack of math coprocessor.  I've got an old AMD K6-2 I use to mess 
around with and I'm going to see what I can do with it.

Thanks,
Brandon
