I too am going to purchase a hard drive soon. Currently, it will be a Inner
Drive. If you get an answer to your questions, and they aren't posted on
the net, please post them on the net yourself.

This is a serious consideration. If they don't supply the driver, we could
be in deep yogart, fast! (ie. out-dated.)
Another question would be, "Does AE's inner drive have the same problem?"

In regard to the question about Applied Ingenuity's Inner Drive and System 5.0... The Inner Drive is totally compatible with System 5.0. As soon as it is released from Apple, all you'll have to do is reinstall it on your drive. The folks at Applied Ingenuity have come out with a new hardware card that allows for 8 partitions on the 40 meg drive (as opposed to the current 2); and has a new native mode driver that makes disk access incredibly fast. If you have one of the old models (heh heh... if you can call seven months "old")... you can upgrade to the newer card for $49.00. Just call and order it. Lynda
