I have nothing connect

I have done a complete re-format of the HD (20GB Maxtor). This hard

Any ideas what might be causing the problem with the Smurf?
Thanks,

You may also be able to use USB devices IF you have a USB 2.O PCI card

When the PowerMac G3 B&W appeared, it was quickly nicknamed "pitufo" as both
were blue and white.
The original iMac G3 was popularly known as "cabezon" (Big headed), while the
fancy iMac G4 was known as "Lamparita" (d

A search with Clusty using "Mac model smurf" has the first three hits
