Hello all : I'm getting ready to install the big 7-oh and I remember reading somewhere about the need to upgrade disk driver s/w as many/most are NOT compatible with 7-oh. Anyone know who (Macuser/Macworld/Macweek ?) printed this article ? It listed all/most disk drive vendors with required driver levels for 7-oh. I'm using a CMS Macstack 30 (SC30) Series 30 that is a Seagate ST138N mechanism. Anyone have a phone number or better still, an email address for CMS ? Thanks for the help ... -- Alan Holzman Internet = holzman@sequent.com Sequent Computer Systems Inc.

I might be wrong - can anyone clarify. This would only be if the manufacturer sent in a compatability report though. Charles >(503) 578-7562 (FAX)
