Thanks Will I tried most of what you suggested and the ones I hadn't I just did but still no joy. Some people seem to have success with Plextor drives but I am beginning to think my answer might be to get hold of the VST Ultratek card OWC have a discussion forum but don't seem to list it for sale I can't find any suppliers here in UK anyone know where these are available at a reasonable price? -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
