Their disk partitioning and data transfer software is the best of any HD software I've seen. I admit the default button should be the other one but is that any reason to flame the works for it??? > LaCie's tech support says that they know about the problem and they're >working on it, but they say they can't reproduce it!!

I hit the restart & interupt buttons all the time and have never had this problem. I know of at least a dozen other people who have Lacie Drives and they have never had this problem. I have no doubts they can't reproduce your problem. Your problem probally really is specific to haveing a 80 on a Mac II. > In summary, I wouldn't buy a LaCie right now, as you are bound to have >problems and frustrations. But, being naive and optimistic, I hope someday LaCiewill fix their driver, send me my manual and SilverServer software, and all willbe right in the world (until I fill up the 80 megs, of course). > >Robert Brewer > brewer@clio.las.uiuc.edu > {ihnp4 | convex | pur-ee}!uiucuxc!clio!brewer I'd be careful about making flames just because you are frustrated & having problems.
