My non-VST external Firewire drive still works under 10.3.3, same goes for my Epson Stylus C42UX and my digital camera, a Fujifilm Finepix S5000. Can't you clone your current installation to your Firewire drive, then upgrade the internal drive to 10.3? If something doesn't work, you could always start up from the external Firewire drive or restore your saved 10.2.8 installation over 10.3... -Laurent. -- ===================================================================== Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] cretinous /kret'n-*s/ or /kreet'n-*s/ adj.: Wrong; stupid; non-functional; very poorly designed.
