I agree with Stuart as regards Mac compatibility of drives labelled as "PC". As regards booting off a drive connected to PCMCIA, I can say with confidence that's not going to happen. How would the Mac be able to 'sense' the device`/ Extensions load after the start of the boot cycle. anything and everything to do with apple macintosh computers http://www.m4mac.com 07958 773472 020 8778 2446 -- 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?
