After sending the index files to Al I realized what I forgot:  More 
keywords.

I should have included the following text in the files:

WesternDigital
Western Digital
Datasheet
Data Sheet


That way if someone googles 'western digital wd1100 datasheet' it would show 
up higher on the list (more keyword hits).
