    Hardrive + External Caddy

    Should work, neither is SATA. PATA is same as original ATA, also same as IDE. Ultra ATA 100 means ATA/ATAPI-5, that it is to say transfer mode is UDMA 5 supporting up to 100mb/s transfer speeds. Seagate makes quality drives, by the way. Good choice.

    Serial modem with Macbook?

    I have used a Belkin USB serial adapter only for an old palm VII, and this did not work very well (i.e., it only worked sometimes.)

    Ipod Nano Linux Help

    Definitely not, and you have to reset your iPod to switch between the the OS's (Apple and Linux). Also, it is not really worth it to watch video with iPod Linux yet: the only format suppported is uncombressed AVI, which takes up as much space as raw DV! It is also a MAJOR pain to convert it to...

    Sound Quality: Computer Vs. iPod

    The older iPods actually had higher quality components than the newer ones, although it is diubtful that they are better than a computer's. The newer ones will sound better through a line out (via the dock connector). If it's a newer iPod it is most likely a software issue or firmware, not hardware.
