Thanks for the link, Tom. The page does refer only to IDE drives, though . .

I had two W2K partitions on this system. One was killed stone cold dead by
SP4, the other is badly compromised. But maybe not *so* badly it can't run
that demo. A lot of things no longer work on it, though (that 2nd. W2K is a
mangled mix-'n-match affair, stuck somewhere between SP1 & SP4; it does still
run Nero, probably the main reason I haven't nuked it yet).
