I even removed my old SCSI drive. I've partitioned my Maxtor 15 G >> drive for OS X, Classic (9.2), and 9.1. Ford, put that SCSI drive back if you have room. I regretted removing the SCSI drive from my machine within an hour after doing so. I had transferred everything from the SCSI drive over to the IDE drive (connected to a Sonnet ATA 100 card). Somehow, a couple of fonts got corrupted in the transfer. My system would not boot. It took hours to figure out what was wrong. ...would have been nice to have had that SCSI installed for booting. Dumb me, I reformatted it before removing it, as I was moving it to another machine. Nancy -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
