Hi Stefan,
I have used OSX since the first version on my cube. I've installed  
every upgrade available and have used an 80GB drive the whole time.  
Not once has the HD given me a scare. (not to mention all that time  
on OS9 I think I had maybe 1 incident). The reason I told you that is  
so that you have an idea of how unlikely having to repair my disk is.  
So it's not too big of an issue for me. If I did need to do that  
though it would be time for me to put that drive in a Mac Pro to  
repair it as it would be WAY faster.

 From my memory when I installed the driver I did test a few of your  
questions out. I was able to access the drive in every case - except  
when connected by firewire in any method.
I will try to test it again to see if it still works!
