[Soekris] SATA question

[Robin Kipp]

Hi,
Thanks for your explanation! I guess I'll wait and see if the hd works,
if it doesn't I can still return it. Btw, do you maybe know where to
mount the hd mounting kid? I think it goes somewhere on the top of the
board, but I don't wanna break anything by accident...
