Dan: Looks like a d2 Quadra, a fan-less, heat sink case model. If so, what capacity? Does/can it spin down when the Mac does not need it? I love quiet. Does/can it spin down when the Mac sleeps? If partitioned three ways to provide bootable clone backups for two aluminum Intel Macs and one Intel Macbook, and if the Mac to which the LaCie is cabled via FW800 is asleep, will that Mac automatically wake up to allow another Mac to do a CCC update to the LaCie? Or must the cabled Mac be awake ahead of time? To have bootable clones as above, the LaCie must be initialized GUID. So, I assume the answers to the next questions are big fat "NOs." Can I add my G4 iBook to this picture with a fourth GUID partition? Can I reinitialize that fourth GUID partition to APM with Disk Utility? I guess I could just copy some iBook User files to one of the iMacs. Many Thanks, once again.
