I have a CDC WrenIII which has a faster tranfer rate than my MacII can use. I have a FAST hard drive, but would really like to take advantage of the fastest transfer rate possible. In other words, if you have get a CDC Wren III (the Jasmine drive you mentioned is a Wren III also) or other drives with <20ms transfer rates, I think it would be well worth doing something, if something can be done. When will these wimpy desktops be fast enough? (big :-)) -------------------- Ken Wallich *My views are mine, and mine alone* Consultant "Slimey? Mud Hole? my HOME this is!"
