That's one of the few problems I *haven't* had! Upgraded to 9.2.1 on my 9500/G4, have an Iomega USB/CDRW, no problems, not even at shutdown. When I had freezes at shutdown, it was tracable, like most of the rest of my issues, to memory problems. Run NewerTech's 'Gauge Pro' memory tests for awhile and see how that comes out; you SHOULD have 0 memory errors. If it comes back with zero errors, then look elsewhere. If you have more then zero, correct that problems first. ---Alex -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
