Thanks for the suggestions, any other ideas >come up, let me know. > >Terry > The CUDA is a small button switch in the bottom rear portion of the mother board between the bottom PCI slot and the bottom of the case. It is brown and about 1/16 inch in diameter. The PDF manual on the S900 (from the Umax Web site) recommends 3 seconds hold time but every S900 tinkerer has their own time. The only danger with the CUDA is pressing too hard! Try this, remove the FireWire cable from the CD and power down. Allow the system to boot up to the desktop. Once at the desktop, power the FireWire drive on. Wait 20 seconds and connect the FireWire cable to the drive. There are times the Bus does not pick up on the external device. Which version of Toast? The earlier version 4.1.2 had extension conflicts that haunted many a toast user. HTH. Eric
