Yes, I have the latest software. I think what you describe works here
but it is very tedious. What I like about the drive is that it just
appears on the MacBook when I open it. Simple and easy. So it really
works for me and if I need it on the G4 I can just go USB since it
lives on the same desk. I just hope they find a way to make it RW for
everything on the network. We'll see what they say if/when they
respond to my inquiry.
Thanks,
Rich
