Also you didn't mention if you are using OS 9 or X; if you intend to use it with a machine running OS 9 you need to be sure to add the OS 9 disk drivers as well. OS X machines don't care about the drivers but you want to be using HFS+ if you need compatability. Joe Ellis -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
