Thank you for these informations. I will visit the '9forever' to learn more about it. Is it really working faster than 9.1 ? Well, that is slower than 8.6; that's my impression (5400/G3 300MHz). The Tiger the G3 is running (at 350MHz) is a minimal system (only DVD - but too slow for full screen presentation), the 10.4.11 has a lot of extensions, kernels, and all the other stuff which did not exist at the times before Unix. The problems really could result from the cards, but I do not find the time to try the SCSI out in the G4/733 - never change a running system. Lars
