Just ran into a snag with the plan to backup to an external drive: the old
MoBo on my dev/secondary server only has USB1.1 ports (it's an old MSI
K7T266 Pro2, but hey it did the job for years).  So now the question is: do
I grab a PCI SATA board (such as the ByteCC that Canada computers has on for
$17), or grab a PCI USB2.0 adapter?
