G4, I don't know about others). Geeze, don't even go there. I have some really cool multimedia boards I have been trying to use for months in my G4.....after lots of resource conflict messages I discover my USB has been "reallocated" to the bit bucket.....I would like to do some FireWire, but those are PCI devices, too. I haven't tried my 2940 SCSI lately, although I suspect it is more of a driver problem than PCI related. Works great in 2.2, crashes downloading microcode in 2.4. I am trying to collect useful information and make sense of this, but I am having trouble grasping all of the changes in the software and the configuration of some of the G4 hardware. It seems all of the standard stuff works OK, so I will just put these projects aside for a while. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
