Yes, many times, the long driver (T-15 if I recall correctly) is still stocked by some tool suppliers, and I have even seen it referred to as a 'Mac cracker' in a recent catalogue!! Fry's sells it as a Mac Cracker. Typically, none of their staff knows that they do, in fact, carry it. --

I often wondered about 8.1's potential in early PowerMacs and even '040's. I suppose no '040 desktops could do USB :) The 6500's use of USB with 8.1 is truly refreshing. I have a friend that has a 6400 with 8.5.1, Ill definitely let him know about that option. Thanks for the insight, Scott!
