I have taken a working drive from a 68k series machine and after reinitializing with the current system drivers have successfully used it in PowerPC machines on several occassions. I have also installed 7.5.3 on many PowerPC machines including the 7xxx series, also successfully. The reason that Apple posts that version (as oppossed to the rancid 7.5.2) is that it works well on nearly all Mac systems from lowly 68k to highend PowerPC. Hopefully this lessens some of the confusion. Aaron Oechsli __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
