Okay yeah man - gotcha! That's exactly the route I tried although it seems maybe the bronze firewire rig isn't as expandable as the pismo. Yeah, although i'm stating my preferences above, I suppose it's also my limitation. If you're building your own systems, Dhej - that's gotta be a more 'free form' way to be. I am, however, pretty enthusiastic over this new OS 9.2x. It's a very stable classic; much improved over 9.1 /which I used to crash some 4-5 times a day (being majorly loaded w/extensions, mind you).
