Just a thought: you shouldn't have any problem seeing your OS X partition from OS 9. If you do, then it means you probably initialized your partition as an UFS instead of an HFS+. Your problems might be cause by this Unix partition format as not all applications on OS X can work fine off that partition... -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe, trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
