My dual processor G4 has the ports, so I was wanting to get a 250gig HDD from PLE computers for around $190, and an external firewire/usb2 case too ,a nd build my own. I want to use it for backup. I’m wondering if OS9.2 will deal with, or even see it? And thoughts would be appreciated. Apple has the same thing for around $400. Thanx Mike -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
