Dan I just tried it with a fresh boot up and it still does it.
It is accessing 25000 mp3s on a hard drive in a firewire case. However, when I use the PowerBook it is connecting wirelessly via the eMac to the firewire drive and it works fine. Would have thought the wireless connecting would have slowed it down but it runs better than it does on the eMac.
