Glad to see that it was no big deal for you. I confess that I'm not as knowledgeable about the other ABSes, but I understand with the Dual-Ethernet ABS if you ever make any configuration changes under OS X, you will no longer be able to make any changes under OS 8/9. Since I operate all 3 OS versions, I have been careful not to make any changes under OS X. If I'm interpreting your comments above correctly, the 5300 is using OS 8.6. Do you know if the Graphite ABS has the same restriction as the Snow ABS?
