Thats interesting. I will have to try that some time. Right now, my chain has the CDRW after the Syquest, and I never figured in the potential sync problems. However, I recall one of my friends mentioning that 10M/s should not be possible because the compact connector on powerbooks is missing those extra 12 or so pins needed. Maybe the Orb is reporting 10, but falling back or compensating for the lack of pins. Or maybe connectors have changed. My chain's Syquest has a Centronix connector, my RW has a 50 pin mini-trapezoid. Could explain some things. Whatever works i guess. -- Joseph P.
