Well, sure, it WOULD if Network Access would boot on the 5300. The 5300 requires Mac OS 7.5.2 with PowerBook 5300 Enabler. Network Access is plain 'ole 7.5 At least, it didn't work the last time I tried it, and I'm fairly certain that I've read elsewhere that Network Access won't boot a 5300 for the reasons given above. Too bad we can't net boot these things... ;-) Peace, Drew -- <http://homepage.mac.com/alk/> "There are of course many problems connected with life, of which some of the most popular are `Why are people born?' `Why do they die?' `Why do they spend so much of the intervening time wearing digital watches?'" -- Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
