Only problem I've had is that, like all USB devices, it gets shirty with me and vanishes every so often, requiring a hot-plug to reappear. This usually occurs after an app has wigged out and needed a force quit in OS 9. Maybe happens three, four times a year. Thing that most often causes it is using the printer, an Epson Stylus Photo EX running on a USB to serial adapter. The extensions for that old printer are so problematic I only load them to print and unload right afterwards. So basically no fault of the iMic IMHO. Macally make a similar thing and I got that initially but I took it back after a few days because it seemed to not get on with something else in my system. Can't remember what, this was a while ago now. HTH, k(ay) --
