I saw one today that I suspect was chipset related. The drive booted the iMac just fine, but I could not get Ethernet working. Under Network Port Configuration the Ethernet option was grayed out. Nothing I could do to make it work. If I get a chance I will try the same thing tomorrow on a G5 Mac. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
