Yes, works. We already used WIW 2.0 to install OS 8.6 on a PM800 (= Quadra800 + Upgradecard). Did not use it myself with a PCI-PM. But a friend told me he used WIW to handle a problem, IIRC, he had with iTunes and ripping an Audio-CD on a PCI-PM, caused by missing native USB. Not my beer, but if anybody's interested I'll try to get more info. Jo -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
