 My hard drive is partitioned with SilverLining 5.20. DiskCopy works
fine for me. I unbundled all of the 6.0.5 stuff on my IIci with DiskCopy.
I encountered no problems.

Well I have Silverlining 5.16 and diskcopy doesn't work correctly. By
the way does anyone know how to get upgrades to silverlining from LaCie
-- they don't seem to know how to get their act together.

Just call them.  For $5 they will send you the latest flavor.  They will,
however, tell you that unless you are encountering specific bugs corrected
in a newer version (e.g. 5.20) that you should -not- upgrade.  (At least they
told me that, so I stayed on 5.17.)

	I called.
	They want you to send the original disk and $10 to the address under "about"
	to attention: upgrades..current version was 5.22
