Yes, I tried those things too. I always dreaded having to open the s-900 case, but this QuickSilver case is a breeze. The funny thing is that I was able to see the drive in Mac O/S X. I've been meaning to switch over eventually anyway, so I decided this was a good time. I'm really curious to know what's causing the problem, but I made a few good copies of the data so I'm not worried. The drive had over 30gigs of data. I'm glad I didn't have to burn 50 CD's for each copy. It's now on three firewire hard drives. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
