Nope. If I could stick a CD-ROM in the drive and turn the machine on, then possibly I would be interested. If I have to go and: 1) muck with my SCSI settings (where did my manuals go?) 2) reboot the machine after saving the changes 3) remember to re-change the settings for normal operation after finally booting from the CD then I fail to see the point. Sure, it may be a neat hack, but it's not easier than putting in a floppy. If it's not an improvement over the current status quo, then why should I care? -- Jonathan
