I bought MacPeak's "Spot On" for 10 UK pounds. It worked OK. I got it from MacLine in the UK. The old company has gone. The only reference I have is http://www.macline.ltd.uk/ . It worked about a month back. You will have to ask them if they still sell it. Depending on what your MacOS version is there is an old patch for Apple's HD Setup 7.2.2. This allows it to work with non-Apple HDs. I can't remember where I got it. I can email it if you need it. Of course you may need the above version too, which may not work with HDs over 2GB. Sorry but I have not tried it, as yet. It does not patch my old version of HD Setup, as it is more recent. Good luck! -- Regards, Shane. "A closed mouth gathers no feet!"
