Well, my Matshita sure didn't work, except to terminate the SCSI chain. Pluggin in a different CD made all the difference. I just borrowed one from an old PowerComputing machine - all I can tell you at the moment is that it's a Sony. If you have another around that you can try, give it a shot. -- Bill Christensen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Green Building Professionals Directory: http://directory.greenbuilder.com Sustainable Building Calendar: http://www.greenbuilder.com/calendar/ Green Real Estate: http://www.greenbuilder.com/realestate/ Straw Bale Registry: http://sbregistry.greenbuilder.com/ -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
