What kind of SCSI interface do you have in the B&W? Some SCSI cards are meant for scanners and such and the card is not bootable. You would be able to see the drive, access it and set it as the Startup disk but it couldn't be started up from that card. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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.
