Just for the record, FireWire, USB and Flash drives (in fact any form of storage device that plugs into FireWire or USB) don�t need any drivers under MacOS X � they will all use the Storage Class Drivers (ie drivers built in to MacOS X which are written for a class of devices that are, in this case, storage devices). You may, however, as Ian has discovered, need to initialise the drive that is inside the enclosure so that it can be used by MacOS X.

The CD shipped whith it was broken & the driver I've downloaded from their site hasn't seemed to work. When I plug it via the FireWire socket System Profiler doesn't show anything. When I plug it via the USB socket it shows up but its not mounted on the desktop & i can't save things to it. -- Mac UK is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Mac UK list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/mac-uk.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-uk%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
