The little spinning ball appears right after the Ethernet extension loads. At least that�s what it does on my 7300/G3 running 9.2.2. At first when I installed 9.2.1 the little icon appeared the ball began spinning and BAM system would crash at this point. Turned out my PCI Firewire card wasn�t playing nice wit 9.2.1. Got the 9.2.2 update now everything is fine. As far as I know its a hardware check :) Hope this helps -- J. Blanton Austin TX 78745 -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
