It will have a Norton Index of about 6 to 7 and applies to be very compatible. But there is another alternative, which could be available in a few weeks / months. The AT-Once from Vortex, also a german hardware producer. They announced it on the CeBit in Hannover this year. It will cost as much as PC-Speed and have the same Norton SI. Let's hope for good news in a few weeks Bye...Michael -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | listen to the coolest ! | Michael kistenmacher / blackbox | | Music from the Galaxy ! | 2000 Hamburg 61 / Radenwisch 82 | | !!!
