    PLUG and PRAY setup :-D

    It was an Ebay bargain and 160Gb back-up to the MINI.

    The first attempt was on the PowerBook because at the time it had OS 3.1 and the Ultimate Pack.

    Inoke the C:> helios_rom_start and behold the drive Unnamed appeared on the PowerBook :-P

    Now What?

    I tried to name it but NOOOOOOOO! it was write protected??

    I couldnt format it ...Ambient was ready but Noooooooo?

    Was there a magic Write Protect Tab like the old floppies???

    Fiddle some more and lost the Disk Icon :-x

    Cried a little and took it over to the newly upgraded 2.4 to 3.1 mini

    Dual boot to the the mac side to see if I had fried the Lacie.

    Nope it was there but only 300mb not 160gb and write protected.

    The Mac side has a disk utilty program and I was able some how to unmount it?

    Sitting quietly in the corner waiting for a blue butterfly or Kronos to dry my tears :-o

    The Library has a tutorial on setting up an external USB drive. Will see if it can also do an external firewire drive?
    It recomends a fat 32 format done on another OS
