I'd be wary of those UPS drivers. A UPS at its best, is a hotbed of EM fields. No HD should be near that. And if you do have any electrical problems, that the UPS has to suppress or regulate, it will generate extra heat. Again, no HD should be near that. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
