I checked out that link. It only relates to the Acard IDE card. I'm using a Firewire hard drive (w/the Oxford 911). Intech (www.intechusa.com) says that their HardDisk SpeedTools v3.5 drivers support the 160gig drives under Mac O/S 9. Here's the quote: "As of HDST 3.5, ATA-6 drives of up to 2048 GB connected to the built-in ATA bus are supported while running the Classic (OS 9.X and earlier) versions of MacOS. " Also, "If you plan on running your extended capacity drive in Classic versions of MacOS only, you can setup the drive without restriction." http://www.IntechUSA.com/XNews.html -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
