What the heck does that mean? There are lots of external cases out there using USB, especially for 2.5" drives and they are very inexpensive and very handy to take with you. I for one use them to transfer fairly large files and programs to my daughters colored iBook, which has no Firewire connection. I can see my external USB HD and Floppy drive just fine using my G4/933. Have your friend try accessing the drives under OS 9 instead of X or Classic.
