The 64mb of ram thing is a conscious motherboard design thing. The SCSI mode thing is a bug in the code Apple didn't catch until PB's with drives larger than 4GB shipped (I believe with the PowerBook G3). Unfortunately, since it's in the ROM, this is an unfixable bug. > -- "Wherever you go, there you are." - B. Banzai, Ph.D. Bruce Johnson -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
