OK, so not knowing about devices faster than ATA66 corrupting data? I can understand that.. but not knowing your computer doesn't support slave drives? That's just embarrassing if they didn't figure it out. More than two IDE devices isn't THAT uncommon. I'm surprised that some of the macs didn't go out the door that way, even. > Anyway, when it comes to zapping the PRAM, I have often found > that the keyboard thing doesn't work.

Depends on how long I've been at it, really. Anyways, today I'm booting to a black screen, not the white screen.. either way, it won't complete. Its frustrating, and leaving the pram battery out for 24 hours is just aggravating.. hopefully this is fixed up sooner rather than later. -g. -- http://www.infotainment.org <-> more fun than a poke in your eye. http://www.eighteenpercent.com <-> photography and portfolio. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
