The part number is 600934, if that helps any. A better description is at http://www.promise.com/Products/idecards/u66.htm. The hard drive says it is a Western Digital WD Expert 418000 EIDE. The invoice from Gateway says it is a 7200RPM Ultra ATA hd. I'd like computers a lot more if they didn't have hardware. Thank you for your time.
