[ale] ata 100 and RH 7.0

[Jay Finch]

         Jeez!  buy them online:

http://shopper.cnet.com/shopping/search/results/1,10214,0-1257,00.html?tag=srch&qt=80+conductor&cn=&ca=1257

http://shopper.cnet.com or http://www.pricewatch.com

$30 for an ATA/66/100 cable is ridiculous...  I'm seeing prices between 
$2.00 - $10.00  (Plus S/H with is around $5)

Cheers!
Jay
