Hello d p! I was just saying that it might be a better choice to get a used QuickSilver or Mirrored Drive Doors and use one of those instead. Anything you can put into a Sawtooth/Gigabit Ethernet/Digital Audio will also fit into a QuickSilver/MDD - with the advantage of an overall better

Wrong. I have an MDD, and know for a fact that you cannot put anything besides drives and video cards from sawtooth/gig-e/d-a machines into the MDD, the MDD uses DDR RAM, and a completely different CPU. On Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 8:08 AM, Mac User #330250macuser330...@gmx.net wrote: Anything you
