Thanks for the link David. It appears my suspicion was correct - seems to be there is an issue with Panther, although so far Apple is only admitting there are problems with FW800 drives, and mine is FW400. (Just had a thought - the machines I hooked up to at work are G5s, so that end is FW800 ... hmmm). One odd thing is that my experience is sort of the opposite of the current posts - they describe a scenario where data gets lost when booting up with your drive hooked up to a machine loaded with Panther. In my situation, the drive works fine in Panther (although in both cases I have hooked up the drive after it has been booted); it is only when I try to take it back into OS 9.2.2 that the problem rears it's ugly head. So far I've only lost data that can be re-captured from video and was able to back the other stuff up, but have wasted several hours on this problem thus far. I'll keep the list posted on any developments. -- Gregg -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
