> ok, so what does all this tell us about my setup? thanks! Well, i was hoping to be able to look up the firmware version (a longshot, but it was what solved my crashing problem). I googled and couldn't find anythin referencing the G1.9 rev. What's the model # on the drive? You said before it's a philips, right? Weird that it doesn't report it. What Tom says makes sense, though: it looks like a bare bones device. You should be able to get it to read though. eric
