The MDD has cooling problems (well, SOME of them do, perhaps not the later ones). The QS do not have such problems. QS 2002 models come with "large drive support" built-in, as to all later Macs, including the MDD. "Large drive support" may be added to a QS 2001 through a script. Once added, the "large drive support" is "persistent" until the NVRAM is reset, which may be never. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
