First, the Plus can't work with a hard drive until it's been formatted to an interleave of 3:1, due to the Plus's inherent slowness. So, if that HD had a life on another, faster Mac, there's your first step. Reinitialize it and set the spins-per-read to a 3:1. Jef -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
