Yup - I put the 6gb back in the 266, and wiped the drive. Not much space left after reinstalling the system. But now the 500 won't boot. Well, it boots, but the date is 1969 and it almost immediately kernel panics. I'm off to get a new PRAM battery and a firewire cable so I can play with target

Thanks Kasey! I'm thinking about maybe putting the original 6gb drive back into the tray-loader, and the 20gb into an external enclosure. I don't really have any use for the 266 that the 500 won't accomplish better. Owen - Original Message > From: Kasey Smith > Sent: Mon, December 14
