I am currently using an APC BackUPS Pro 420 on my PM 9600-350 G3-500, and it works fine, but I have a 3rd party piece of software to control the shut-down... it is UPS Monitor, old but reliable, and it shuts down my Mac in a proper fashion when the powder goes off for more than 5 minutes. Hope this helps... Good luck, Pete -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
