> I get strange behavior from my main harddrive (40GB) in my Mac G4 DP > 500, so I fear it'll break soon and I'll have to replace it. Sorry, I menat to add that you should really have two drives if you do a lot of audio recording/playback. One for system and the other for your audio data. SO in short I would recommend a smaller, maybe slower (certainly cheaper!!) drive for your system drive and the larger faster (ie. costly!!) drive for your data. Incidentally I did a test a while back with my lowly three year old Maxtor drive and I could record and then playback 32+ tracks at the same time!! (most of them silence) The drive sounded under duress so I decided I should not continue, but all has been fine since. This has been covered ad nauseum in this list somewhere, you might check the archives (I cant access them at the moment as I lost my YahooID again...), plus unfortunately I know jack about Macs having never used one - dont know what I'm missing, but then again <flamebait on> I dont know the problems I might have to deal with either ;) </flamebait off> regards -- Mark Lennox Technical Consultant ENDUSER Suite 40 Guinness Enterprise Centre Taylors Lane Dublin 8 Ireland Tel: +353 1 4100 665 Fax: +353 1 4100 985 web: http://www.enduser.com --
