Thanks, and John Laughlin too. As it happened, I found this
myself this morning but see that you are all as spot on as ever!
 I was getting frustrated yesterday!

After  years on my trusty 7300 and 7600, I am just now using
this fancy QS G4 seriously. I can get on the internet. My OE
works fine. And most of my major programs. So far I have lost
ability to (1) Print anything (2) Use any of my millions of SCSI
zip devices (3) Put the computer screens to sleep (I run 2 and
will run 3 soon. (4) Use KeyQuencer and (5) get nice loud sound
from my external speakers. But I won't flood you with the
details here. But I might ask for help if I can't get things to
work. At least I am able to get going. BTW I know why 1 and 2. I
have a nice apple personal laserwriter and want to keep it! I
believe it can be run with some sort of ethernet bridge on a
network arrangement...  I will be interested to know if I can
run one of my many 7300 or 7600s as some sort of device
controllable from the QS so I can use the printer and even the
SCSI zip devices attached? I will ask about this some other time
I guess...

Next step will be to use X seriously, I have Tiger installed on
a separate partition. But for now, I need to continue on 9
because I am in middle of work....
