Gudday Cuz My not so eloquent but totally brilliant work-around ;) is using mobile racks. I favour RH-O6 type for IDE, can't recall the SCSI equivalent off hand. Who needs dual booting systems and SCSI chains when you can slap in a fresh drive any time you want?... Well dual boot does have it's plus's - Linux on old world Macs for example :( Hacking into awkward Mac cases can be a problem tho'. I was lucky with the G3 being so adaptable. > Figured by now FW > externals would be a cheap buy.. figured wrong compared to $9 for the > scsi. Right, that's it, I'm moving back to Oz. I can't stand these bargains I'm missing out on any longer :) I need to buy another 7300 :( But that's an entirely new thread coming up. > The drive is too small for a pc. ;) Not too small for a stand alone DOS or Win 3x box I'd wager. I have a heap of old Win 3 and DOS progs loaded on my P166 box and they all still [just] fit onto a CD without using compression for back-up. Shameless plug: I've been using the freeware DOS prog "XCLONE.EXE" for archiving whole drives and writing the contents back to fresh drives. Really saves a lot of time reinstalling when moving drives. Also does a good snapshot of existing drives incase they suddenly fail. Very easy to use too; XCLONE C: D: to archive, XCLONE D: C: to restore. Works across network drives too, a good utility to have around. >> Computers are like air conditioners; they don't work when you open >> windows. > > nice quote for the mac-n-dos list. :) > > PC stands for Personal Computer, macs fail the first but succeed well > in the second.

'Machine Always Crashes If Not The Operating System Hangs' isn't it? :) Speaking of which, I've been preoccupied with vMac for PPC over the past 24 hrs. A lot of fun in a time wasting sense :) Just installed SSW 7.0.1 whoo hoo.
