This is the enclosure I'm using: http://www.deltrontech.com/PDF/0502/E5.pdf I had the drive (Pioneer 118L) with the jumper set the cable select (left it that way after pulling it out of the G4 MDD it was in previously) And for some reason, I'm guessing the jumper setting, when importing a CD into itunes not only took what seemed like forever, but the drive spun up rather strangely?? Then after Daniel and others told me to set to Master, I needed to use handbrake to import a movie to iTunes and was pleasantly surprised when it took a pleasing 16 mins to encode! If my itunes CD import works as good, all is great in my world!:-) Jeff Engle -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
