BTW my email was returned so had to post. I bought the card used and it came with disks, not a CD. Also my 2 HDs are internal and the CD is external. My procedure is always to copy my current system to the other HD and use it to start up from. I reformatted (HDT 1.3) my HD and installed the 7.1.2 system that came with the card. Then restarted and installed 7.5 CD, then restarted and installed 7.5.3 CD. I enabled the card from the control panel but not the MMM in memory, first, then restarted with only system extensions. (Both my drives have HDT 1.3 drivers.) When I reformatted the drive with Hard Disk Toolkit it installed the updated driver. Right? So I don't see how that could be the problem. > BTW 99% of the time "Unimplemented Trap error." means that the Power PC > chip tried to execute non powermac code and failed ...in your case proably > the HD drivers. And since the MMM was off, I was not running any PPC programs, and the drivers were current, how could the above be true? Thanks again. Lahraesamann
