My similar (identical?) SmartDisk Floppy Drive, when connected, does not interfere with shut-down of my iMac. The drive works fine if connected when the iMac is powered off or connected after I start up. (It does not work if connected to the keyboard USB port. An alert box tells me "... needs more power...plug it into another USB port on your computer...") I am running OS 9.2.1. Donald is running a version of X, I believe. So, X is not co-operating? Or there is a different reason for Donald's problem. Mary -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
