I am a new subscriber to the List. After reading about iData Pro, & rave reviews by the likes of David Pogue, I don't know how I lived without it--except I never heard of it till this List.
My question is this: I have a Power Mac 6500, upgraded w/a G3 400 CPU, maxed memory, USB/Firewire PCI card, 3 gig hard drive w/40 gig. external HD. It is as stable as the Rock of Gibraltar Have only had to reinitialize the HD once in 5 yrs. I have downloaded the iData Pro version for OS 9x & it is sitting in a folder on my desktop. Will it screw up my Hard Drive, cause crashes, or other weird troubles if I install it? I'm pushing 80 yrs. old, but I can still fix both hardware & software problems on my Mac--just don't want any unnecessary problems! I have other things to do! LOL Also discovered my tower has a "loft" with connections for another hard drive. I could have installed the 40 G Baracuda there instead of in an external enclosure, BUT does anyone know if my OS (9.1) would support a "master-slave" set-up, or is this perhaps a "generic" tower that Apple used in l978-79 for various models, some of which would support this set-up? Sorry to be a pest first time "out of the gate", but where else can I get answers? Ginny [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
