I suspect it's because your older computer only has USB 1. Does the drive have a Firewire interface? If so, it will probably let your iBook talk to the drive. PS/ If it's 160G, it's almost certainly not a flash drive. That much flash RAM would cost more than a new computer. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
