size=2>Right... with a bit of effort (and some swearing) I've managed to
get the copper cover off without completely destroying it. I've discovered that
it is in fact a hard drive, albeit a very small one. I have no idea what
capacity it is, although I shall be conducting experiments on it as soon as
Igor, my assitant, returns with some fresh body parts.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

unidentified object...</FONT> </P><BR>
<P><FONT size=2>I've just been handed an object that apparently came from our
old building</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>before we moved. Someone's just been over
for the final time to get anything</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>we might want.</FONT>
<BR><FONT size=2>This object is about the size of a cigarette packet/deck of
cards, has what</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>looks like an ide 40 pin connection at
one end, and a standard 4 way power</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>connection, but with
only two (red and black) cables in it. It's covered in</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>a
plasticised copper foil case which has holes in it for mounting screws
and</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>looks kinda like a hard drive, but I've never seen
one like it before. I</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>have no idea how old it is, nor
does the packaging give any clues either -</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>it's a
standard clear anti-static plastic bag with a piece of foam in it...</FONT>
<BR><FONT size=2>Does anyone have any ideas??? </FONT></P><BR><BR>
