You should be able to tell by looking in the extensions folder. You would have ATI ROM Xtender 1.0.7 and ATI Radeon PCI ROM Update. > Also their is an update, that seems specific to 9.2 should I avoid > this.... I guess you should avoid it if you are not using 9.2 as Classic. > can you tell me a little more of your "Interest" I guess my "interest" is in burning DVD with our 9600. I think Jeff W first mentioned the Lite-on and Wired 4 DVD card set up. I have been following threads of any kind about DVD, so your post was of interest too. I have zero complaints about our LaCie external CD-RW drive. But, I have a new iMac Flat Panel with the SuperDrive. Now I lust for one of the SuperDrives for the 9600. The following "snip" of your quote from Sonnet pretty much sums up my reluctance to go out and buy a drive that will read and write to DVD. > Phillip wrote - as quoted from Sonnet: > > Generally speaking, adding a DVD-ROM to an older machine is pretty > pointless.

There is some hope. I recently added an ATA100 PCI card and a hard drive (connected to it) to our 9600. I might gamble on a DVD drive if I can get OS X working on the 9600. Never quite satisfied with the set up... Nancy -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
