Thanks All
I never thought of using another computer, silly me!

I did think of using an adapter cable, but could not find one at a recent visit to a shop....as for my system having a free PCI slot, nope! I own an AST Century City microtower and it has no expandability whatsoever, I had to pratically crack open the case to install more memory. It uses an all-in-one mobo so it has no slots at all. I guess another computer will be the logical and easiest solution. John
