Thanks for the info. I only have an iMac 400 dv, a PM7600 G3/300, 2 9500's and a 6320 at home. Sometimes when not at work I need to get data off powerbook 2.5" drives via a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter. For this I use the 6320 with the drive hanging out the front, booted from a CD and copy the data off via ethernet. I was toying with the idea of adding an ATA PCI card in the 9500 for greater storage, and for generally accessing various IDE drives so I can ditch the 6320. From your experience it looks as if I can. Steve Bell -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
