I sure agree with you about the functionality of the Genesys chip sets. I have two of them and they some times will and some times won't mount, it seems once they do all will be ok till I disconnect one and move it to another machine and then the problem starts all over again. I should trash them but I like the enclosures . :-) John Carmonne Yorba Linda CA 92886 USA Sent from my MBP -- 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.
