I believe it's more of a partition problem. I could be wrong as I've only done SCSI disk mode with a 520, but SCSI disk moding partitions over 4 gigs can cause file corruption. As for Appletalking, you could, but with serial you're talking about 230kbps and even 10Base-T ethernet at10mbps is right around 1 Megabyte per second with some overhead. With SCSI disk mode you're going to get 5-10 megabytes a second, depending on conditions and throughput and other such things. Even at it's worst SCSI disk mode is noticably faster than Ethernet. With 100Base-T ethernet you might be able to beat it, though even then it's iffy with the protocol overhead of Appletalk. Scott Holder ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
