However ... You must reinitialize any drives you move to the Sonnet (or any other card) as these cards simulate SCSI cards. There is a difference in the initialization of an EIDE/UATA drive which is directly attached to the Mac's mobo, and the same drive which is connected through a PCI-based UATA card. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
