Yes, this is a prime reason to hang onto your old Power Computing OS CD. Mac OSes generally don't recognize non-Apple branded drives without a third-party utility such as FWB or Intech Speedtools. Keep a backup on hand.
There are some exceptions to this rule. For instance, the Apple CD-ROM driver 5.3.1 that came with OS 7.6 can generally recognize third-party CD drives. And I had no problem with the Hard Disk Setup with OS 9.x recognizing my new Seagate Barracuda 9.1 GB hard drive. on 1/22/03 10:01 PM, James Mironchik at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I've seen many recent posts re: the best 9.x.x to use on these machines.
