I couldn't get that to work either. Everything initializes and lays down the drivers ok or seems to, but now I'm wondering if I should go with FWB? And if we only knew WHAT the problem was..... :-) This machine had a crashy nearly unusable 8.1 on it with outdated browser etc, and I was supposed to fix the software to 8.1 if no upgrade card, to 9 if I found a card. The HD checked out fine so I proceeded and I never got it installed again. The new one is doing the same thing.........Drat! -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
