slowing to a crawl, I _may_ be able to see, but erasing hard drives??? OS9 is compatible with a 7100 afaik, and I was installing just the bAse ~50 meg system install (as opposed to the 200meg regular install). I am still stumped abt the erased disks and such.... >You got it - the 7100 doesn't seem to be powewrful enough to run OS >9.0.
