It all amounts to whether you want to spend the extra money . Since USB 2 is gaining alot of ground and appears to be equally fast if not faster, you might as well consider getting firewire/usb/usb 2 combo. But USB cards are so cheap anymore that you could buy one if you didn't have any use for Firewire now and buy a combo card when you actually have use for one. By that time they might be cheaper. You would have the disadvantage of not being able to test the combo card to make sure it is working right. Getting a rev B rom dimm to be able to use Master/slave might be a better solution if you wanted to use extra hard drives but finding one and one at a reasonable price might not be easy. ===== __________________________________________ alternate e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sig: Specs: Beige G3 DT/466mhz, OS 9.2.2 & 10.2 __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
