Dan, what is the original SW for the Kanga? I had a terrible problem with either the Finder or the HDD driver or both (trying 9.1, 8.6 partitions) on my 3400. After weeks of fiddling, I got a Compaq HDD that had never seen a Mac HDD driver. Installed and formatted it with Disk ToolsFloppy (OS7.6) for the 3400. Now running 8.1 with the 7.6 driver, and incomparably better - using ethernet connection and iCab 2.9.5. When it freezes though, I need up to 5 restarts to load any extensions at all. I am getting constant clicking from the HDD area - I think it may be the fan, although I think it never normally turns off during usage. If it's the HDD, it isn't affecting performance. Again, I strongly suspect the mix of drivers and partitions did some weird corruption of the Finder (?) on the (original) Mac ROM 1.3 Gig HDD. I am still testing. George
