SCSI disk mode is only used when you plug a SCSI cable in the back of your powerbook, and then plug the other end into another computer. There is a control panel named "Powerbook SCSI Disk Mode", but this only changes the ID of your hard drive. File sharing is in no way affected, neither is anything else, and the fix is simple: don't plug your book into another computer via the SCSI port. :-) The problem resides in the ROM of the books, which means no amount of hacking will fix it... -- John -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
