Hi all, Thank you for all your responses. I have finally figured out the problem. The unit has no ON/OFF switch, so it apparently goes into a "sleep" mode for some reason, if you leave it hooked up. All I have to do is unplug the usb cable from the back of it, and reinsert it. Then it will mount disks. However, it doesn't work with older disks, as someone mentioned, such as the 800K ones. Once, i thought it had froze my system, but it turns out it just takes a little while for it to recognize an uninitialized disk and ask you to format it... Now, if I can just figure out why CompuServe can't render web pages properly, I'll be all set.
anyway, thanks again all. --Electro-- aka David M. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
