Thanks Brian, you made me realize I had left out some vital info... I have a PC card running on the desktop, an old 133mhz Pentium II card, Radius I believe. It requires a version of PC Exchange to be installed along with File Exchange. This setup worked fine for months until recently. The only recent event is trying to install some NONAME USB IDE enclosure on the desktop. As soon as I tried to use the manufaturers drivers I started having these problems.
Again, it seems to affect the CD ROM and Compact Flash (USB) as well. The same problems appeared on the laptop immediately after a file transfer using SCSI docking. And now my system locks up on the 5300 is pretty much useless when it comes to PC floppy disks, PC zip disks and PC CD ROMs, and occassionaly with a MAC media. Even a bare bones system with only File exchange results in the same issues. UGGH. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
