Yes, for years I have had it "on" on the CD-Rom drive and it is not clear to me if any problems I have had occasionally are due to this. Probably not as I have mainly managed well (the occasional CD that won't mount but which I often found a reason for). Anyway, given your experience, it seems more principled to have it off on my 7600 which supplies its own TP. David Elmo -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
