I would like to try, but I have no G3 to install it on, just that 8500. It would be very hard to find it... Maybe someone have installed those drivers on their G3/G4 and could send me the unpacked version? (To [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Please? ;-) I don't think any copyright would be violated as drivers are available on Lexmark website freely. -- Grzegorz Pawlik -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
