Actually, whether the drive is formatted with HFS or HFS+ is irrelevant to SCSI disk mode, as is the OS on either system. SCSI Disk Mode is built into the ROM of some powerbooks, so if it doesn't work, it's a problem with the SCSI port on the slave P'book, the cable in the middle or the scsi port on the host P'book. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
