Hi Ben,
Thanks a lot for your advice!!! I am going to forward it to work, I am taking my iBook with me tomorrow to do things there, borrowing my boss' external HDD.
I actually bought an external HDD myself, a Freecom Classic 80GB one. My boss told me that I could just buy any USB HDD, and there was a great offer at the time, so I jumped on it. But it doesn't seem to work, it doesn't appear on the desktop. The CD didn't have any drivers for it either. How fun... I was sort of hoping that it had to do with Sys 9.2, but when I tried connecting it to the iBook, nothing happened then either. I did mail the company's support back when I bought it this fall, and explained what happened and not, and got a mail back asking "what happens", as if they had not read my mail at all. I was real busy at the time and sick too, so I didn't get back to them. I really should get back to the issue, because it would be great for back-up etc. Since I read about it on their web site and saw no mentioning of Mac compatibility, I asked them if the case was that it wouldn't work with a Mac at all, but they didn't mention that at all, so maybe there is hope if I get a driver that I can use? When it didn't work, I went online and read a bit here and there, and it is really my impression that it isn't as easy as my boss told me, that not all USB HDD's automatically will work on a Mac, but of course, maybe I am wrong?
Oh my... I did it again. I came to think of another thing, and just spill it out. I guess I should start another thread instead of doing this... I promise to shape up!!! :)
This list is really great!!! Too bad I didn't find it years ago...
Take care!
Aase :)
