Thank you for the reply. My current configuration sees the whole 160GB drive. I read somewhere that the latest G4's made in 2003 no longer have the size issue. Folks are putting them on the ATA 66 or 100 bus and they are working. I had also read on the Sonnet site that some machines/hds (not specified) will not get the 8MB cache to work and only use 2MB. I don't know how to tell though. While I'm doing video editing I would like all the available hardware pieces to work fully. > I bought two of those 160GBs for my OS X Server and that same card, > running the firmware update caused me no harm and made things work > better. That's the issue for me is will the firmware upgrade make things better or worse. It must be time to write to Sonnet and see what they saw since the site has nothing specific on it. -- George Henry-Schneider G4/1.25DP/1GB/FW 800 OS 10.2.6 All I can do is tell the truth.
