That's why ATAPI devices are handled via an ASPI (Advanced SCSI Programming Interface) driver in Windows.) For best results you need to install a bus master driver from the motherboard's chipset vendor that makes ATAPI devices show up by name instead of just "generic". Then you can directly access and init an IDE hard drive with Basilisk II, but do so at your own risk and it'll only work with one partition for some reason. (And only one HFS partition, no other types on it. Haven't tried HFS+ with 040 emulation mode yet.) ===== http://www.junkscience.com "All the Junk that's fit to Debunk!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
