Try deleting "Appleshare Prep" in the preferences folder. My source: <http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.mac.comm/browse_thread/thread/ fcf24208db7ac1d0/be52c4e81b4b5715?q=stop+automatically+connect+network +drive++group:comp.sys.mac.*#be52c4e81b4b5715> It was the third result when I searched on "stop automatically connect network drive" in the groups: comp.sys.mac.* All ancient Mac wisdom was discussed at some point in the UseNet comp.sys.mac.* hierarchy.... There is also some discussion about unchecking a "connect at startup" box, but I don't think you can access that box unless the drive is available to mount. Although there might be something in the Chooser you could do. Regarding the later hardware discussion... It sounds like you might want to stock up on Beige G3 logic boards. They have the virtue of working with ATX power supplies. However, while ZIF (CPU) modules will probably be available forever, the VRMs may become hard to find. Another alternative would be to lay in a few of the PowerComputing brand clones. They also use ATX power supplies. Another alternative would be the Umax clones which use a modified ATX drive, but it's pretty easy to build an adapter.
