I was planning on purchasing Rodime, since I heard that they behaved nicely under control of Apple's drivers. Now it appears that 6.0 just thwarted those plans. I need a drive that's solid (good-quality), around 50 MBytes, and partitionable. Any suggestions? Email is welcome, but since I read this group regularly, I'll see it if you post. I'll summarize responses. --chris -- -- J. Chris Cooley | husc6! -\ Computation. Center (COM 1) | im4u! -->-cs.utexas.edu!ut-emx!jcc Univ. of Texas at Austin | uunet! -/ Austin, TX 78712 |
