[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] Note: in common computer geek parlance, that's not a serial port. Serial ports usually refer to the 9-pin connection that ancient mice and other peripherals used. Monitor 15-pin connections are usually referred to as the VGA (or, more rarely, RGB) connection. As for ATA/SATA problems, I feel your pain. When I bought this computer, I'd intended to move an old storage drive to it. I looked online and found a SATA adapter, but it was crap and did not function. And, I didn't even consider the fact that even the power supply has changed, so I needed something for that as well in order to power the old hard drive and the adapter. Although I saw reference to adapters online, in my impatience I simply bought a new power supply. That is probably okay since the original was both small and literally had no other connector types at all, meaning any special maneuvers I might make would each require some adaptation, which in the end could get expensive depending on what I chose to do. So at present, I have the new power supply with its old and new connectors powering everything, and the old hard drive connected to SATA by way of a ribbon-cable-width adapter circuit board which accepts a SATA cable and plugs into the back of the hard drive directly. And no, this entire operation wasn't annoying at all. (I lie!) [/QB][/QUOTE]
