I didn't remember what card I have but it is the same, a SeriTek 1S2. This is in my GE server running standard Tiger. It has a 750 Gb and a 1Tb drives attached. There are also two IDE drives connected to the MB IDE controller. Now I'm in the market for another card. I'm thinking I might go with a 2 SATA, 2 E-SATA controller. I'd use this with the existing card allowing me to expand to external drives later, when needed. I'd replace the smaller drives with 1+ Tb drives. Currently one of the IDE drives has the OS installed on it but the next drive will likely take over that task. The card has worked fine the year or two I've had it. -- 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 a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
