I initially had that problem the first time I tried to hot swap my Zip 100 bay while booted into OSX.1. However, I rebooted with the drive installed, the drive mounted my Zip disk, I removed the disk, hot swapped with the DVD drive, and then hotswapped back with the Zip drive and the Zip disk mounted without a problem. Everytime I've used the Zip drive since, I can hotswap and the disk mounts without a problem. Can't really explain why it didn't mount initially. Outside of this, I've had no other problems in OSX.1 or OS9. Jim ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
