Re: lacie BIGGEST FW800

[Hugh D. <hu...@zo...>]

FYI all.
Having booted the [Lacie FW800 - TI-chip - ] card in another mobo (still 
non-64bit I'm afraid), it still reports the nonsense GUID under 2.6.10 
at any rate.
Time to track down a 64bit mobo I think - will try it in the G5 if 
that's got one.
