As far as FireWire on the 2400c is concerned, I can testify the RATOC FireWire card works great on a cardbus-enabled 2400c, be it G3 upgraded or the stock 603e@180Mz. I just copied the 2.5 FireWire Apple software from another machine. As for HD support drivers, I've used both Radiologic and Intech and they work well. Having said that, you should be fine provided you install just the Apple FireWire extensions (FireWire Enabler, FireWire Support, and FireWire PC card support) and the necessary drivers to support a hard drive, CD burner or whatever. I think FireWire 2 Go Enabler is redundant with the Apple software. I don't own a Newer card, but it should work according to people on the list. As for LaCie's FireWire drivers, I've no idea how they work, but you should be on the safe side if you use the latest version. -- Jose Antonio Alvarez Dios e-mail addresses: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] e-fax number (in the USA, handles voicemail too) 1 (419) 828-9794 fax number (in Spain) 34981597054 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
