Hi Bob, Were still out here, plenty of folks on this list. I guess they are all on vacation or something. There are about 273 members on this list and we will be glad to help you with your PowerBase. I have one that I use as an MP3 player and burner and it runs SETI when it idle. Are you installing USB 2? If not you probably would have been much better off with a SCSI card or FireWire. As for being on the endangered list - I think not - my 7 PowerComputing machines are humming right along and I am looking for more. Like any Mac user, the PCC user tend to be very loyal to their clones. There are lots of life left in them. Welcome to the list, David Culler -- -- The box said "Requires Windows 95, or better."
