I am wondering what the max size HD a 2300 can accommodate (both data and physical dimensions) I am setting up an old 2300 as an MP3 server. When I acquired it it had a 6 gig drive in it and the case was half open and held closed with tape as the drive seemed too big! So I got a replacement dri

I have used the card with OS 8.6 on my 2400 with no problems-the system was rock solid. Did you update the GV firmare (v2.20) and the drivers (v3.0.6)? You should update to OS 8.6; the concensus on this list is that it is the best Mac OS to date I am having issues with the same GV card and OS 9.0
