If anyone would like to swap some of their PATA drives for my SATA

By the end of the week I'll have six spare 160GB PATA hard disks,
most probably matching Western Digital WD1600BB (all GWO, NBS),
unless you particularly want me to dig around to see if I can find
ones with a manufacturer's warranty still running on them.

The price I'm looking for is about 20p/GB inc. postage, or 180 quid
inc. postage for all six. Since it's you, I'll bung in a dying 40GB
Toshiba laptop hard drive for you to disassemble and photograph.

I don't need any SATA drives.

Thanks, AJ - but I have rather too many WD drives as it is - all sizes
up to 250GB.
