>> upgrading to 9.1 from 8.6 is quite painless. Well, except that the ATA drive connected to my SIIG controller card disappeared forever when doing this update (and I wasn't upgrading the OS on that disk at the time!) Next time, I'll update the disk driver with the other disks disconnected, or will update the individual driver later using Drive Setup. That may have just been a fluke, since I don't think I've ever heard of that happening to anyone else...
>> USB2 devices will not >> work at USB2 speeds; some will work at USB 1 speeds. I'm using several USB devices connected a no-name USB PCI card (Wacom tablet, digital camera, Canon scanner, Epson printer, Iomega CDRW, Handspring Treo), and generally without any problems at all. I was disappointed to find, though, that I *should have* bought the firewire CD-RW instead of the USB2 version!

Hey, I was wondering about those extensions! I'll have to give that a try. I have Toast (v4 and v5 lite). What are the advantages of using Toast over the burner extension, which I've never used, having only recently upgraded to 9.2? > I don't know where I'd be without this list; probably lost like a > newborn lamb in a pack of wolves. Possibly, we too would be chattel of the Evil Dominion. No doubt about it, those freely exchanging knowledge in the PCI forum are great people, and a wonderful help. I'd like to also thank those of you who take the time to help those of us that normally would just blunder along, all but hopeless. ---Alex PM9500 OS 9.2.1 Sonnet G4/700 640 megs -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
