I wish that LaCie were forced to put on all their materials and packaging:
"Caution: this device doesn't work with anything that doesn't have on-board USB/Firewire, so you're screwed if you have anything older." Sorry, a little bitter over the 16x4x4 FW/USB combo burner I bought for a machine at work that will not work on a Beige G3 -- period. I agree with Eric tho -- trying to do anything intensive/volatile like burning when the device is hooked up to the hub is not a good idea. Lincoln > on 27/3/02 10:23, Andrew J.
