[Cube] question

[Gary Heartsfield]

Ok  here is what I found out.

The same hard drive that was killing my cube made a G4 800 Tower do  
the same thing.


Reformated the drive and installed  Leopard from a 1 gig g4 laptop  
using  the drive from the cube as a firewire device ( used a Wiebetech  
drive dock, everybody should have one )

The drive booted and ran fine on the G4 tower ( 800) then moved it  
back to my cube and it works without any problems I can tell so far.   
I can not tell if it runs any faster or slower on the cube.

I have a Radeon 9000 pro in the cube. ( 64 meg )

I will keep you posted.
