Al, System Profiler detected the enclose but not what was inside it. So nothing would work. It did not matter if it was the Pioneer DVR-110D, the DVD-ROM from the B & W or an old hard drive I had laying around. Today I switched the internal ribbon cable that shipped with the enclosure with a good ATA-133 hard drive cable. Now System Profiler sees whatever device I put in and lists the particulars like manufacture, model, revision, ect. CDS's or HD's will now mount. I called Computer Geeks and they are sending me another ribbon cable. Initially I though the FireWire enclosure was not compatible. It turns out a defective cable was the problem. --glen -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
