It seems > that the "Oxford 911 chip" was the problem child? I'd plug it in.. I've had a rash of "weird errors with ^...@#%@$ Firewire Boxes" lately. A professor just had his Iomega external drive cause OS X to be unable to launch anything after it's plugged in. Weird. All the programs running *before* you plug it in are fine, anything after just bounces a couple of times then stops. Weirder still the os somehow thinks these apps are still running. It also asks to reformat the drive when you plug it in. Yanked the drive mechanism out of the enclosure and it's perfectly fine. Two of my firewire enclosures have decided to give up the ghost altogether, and my WD My Book has really only ever run reliably under USB2. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
