Hi, many thanks for that. I bought today a Hitachi 40 GB drive. First i thought it does not work, since the drive is awful silent :). Everything went fine. Lots of space and even HFS works on this size. I need HFS to mount it from the Linux-side. HFS+ is not supported there. -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | () Gruesse/regards [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | /\ Manfred Guentner www.serv.de.eu.org | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
