I hope this isn't too off topic but have you had any issues booting drives on the SerItek card. I really like Time Machine I need to mess with it on my G5 and see how to use it to benefit my Tiger drives also. It's great on my MBP but there's not too much choice there. Only have a 500 GB drive on it not much room for dual boot. I just checked OWC and they have the Seritek 1V4 card at $109.00 + $3.00 shipping = $112.00. so I ordered it. The best I could do locally was $149.00 + tax = $162.03. No tax frm OWC:-) John Carmonne Yorba Linda USA -- 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.
