Is there a website which describes the procedure? My origins are hardware, so I can do it without a lot of pain. But, if it gets a bit involved, I think I would have to agree with you ... just spend the extra $$ to get something ready to go. >> Every chipset is different. The Promise PDC20262 cards could be "diverted" from PC uses to Mac uses. The changes are external to the chip. To trace cuts nor discrete wire adds. Only component deletes and components adds. The later Promise cards (PDC20267, etcetera) contained provisions to prevent this "diversion", and these provisions are internal to the chip. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
