This shouldn't be happening, correct? Is it > true that the external drive port on the IIcx is for 800K drives? I wonder if I should followed to your article. I have an opposite problem. I have an Cutting Edge 800K. It worked well on my Mac SE. Now I upgraded to SE/30, then it doesn't work. I tested this drive on another SE/30, a IIcx. The results are same. Sometimes it tells me "this disk needs minor repair". In another case, disk icon are shown on desktop, and some files can open (or run), but others fail (disk error). But apple's original external 800K works well both SE and SE/30, IIcx. And this Cutting Edge drive works on SE! I wrote about this to Cutting Edge, but no response yet. -- ========================================================================== Masato Ogawa Sony corp. ogawa@sm.sony.co.jp Tokyo, Japan ==========================================================================
