Check the Drive Compatability Database @ xlr8yourmac. I was there yesterday checking reports for the WD 80, 100 and 120 GB WDs w/8 MB cache. I remember seeing reports there with failures to install OS X and other problems if the WD HD was connected to the IDE mobo controller on a B&W G3. FYI: I have a Maxtor D740XL 40 GB on my B&W G3 Rev.1 on the mobo IDE channel with no problems whatsoever. ************************************************************ Deze mail message is bij binnenkomst gescand op de aanwezigheid van virussen ************************************************************ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
