went to your site..or i guess not exactly your site..the 
www.gse-reactive.com site....of course you already have what i was looking 
for in the above msg...i just ordered some
stuff from you some how i missed it....anyway another order...i have a 
couple focus internal hd's and i the card
only ide for the vulcan...so i'll save my pennies

like most of my ideas ..it had already been done...

thanks for the support on stuff..and as a side note...not sure i should 
mention the type of card here you prob get bugged alot on projects..but how 
is that project with the card i sent you working out?

on that mystery note to those reading this i'll move on

thanks for the site and keep making toys...(my ability to keep up in buying 
said toys is somewhat in question however)
