Actually, you should be able to use drives up to 4 GB in SCSI Target Mode just fine on these 'Books. And that's 4 REAL gigabytes, or 4,294,967,296 bytes. Which means that a drive *advertised* as 4.3 GB might well be just fine. YMMV, of course. ,xtG .tsooJ -- Joost van de Griek http://www.jvdg.net/ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
