Mine ran fine in a 7600 after the last rom update, before that one there were lots of problems. When the rom stuff was fixed I was quite pleased with it. However there are a number of Gossamer (Beige G3) systems where it currently prevents the system from booting at all, mine included :-( Sonnet finally got an affected system in house to test...I'll be interested in how I'm expected to fix it, though...since flashing it would require booting the computer with the device in the system. I may end up just putting it back in the 7600 or selling it to finance separate ATA and Firewire/usb cards (since one slot's already taken with my Radeon card, I'm stuck) Kinda pissed though, I've got a nice fast drive on the slow internal IDE bus. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
