Could be, but it should work fine with the newer firmware installed. Don't know if 3.0b2 is the latest firmware, but what you need to do is to run the firmware updater from you HD, not CD. This is the URL for the firmware you need: <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60384>. This one's probably the same as on your CD. Also take a look at this URL: <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60385>. HTH, Marc * * -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
