I found it the hard way, after having continuous problems with a 45MB Rodime mechanism, even after I called LaCie, the makers of SilverLining. They claimed that their software works with all drives that they know of. Finally I talked to the tech support people at PCPC (whose MacBottom drive I have) and they told me that SilverLining does not work with their Rodime drives and I should install their (PCPC's) software. I did and indeed the problems with the drive are solved. -- ============================================================================= Arie Covrigaru | University of Michigan AI Lab Phone: (313)763-1255 | Room 149, Advanced Technology Bldg.
