I then wish to install my music software currently running on an older iMac with OS 8.6. I was thinking of initializing the hard disk and then installing everything fresh on the new machine using 8.6. I want to do this since I know 8.6 works well with what I am currently doing. My concern, however, is whether I might run into trouble with firewire support and other firmware/microcode issues. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks... -------------------- Abbie

In other words, if the iMac you're considering came with 8.6 (8.5, 8.1, 8.0 ...) it will run fine with 8.6 - but if it came with 9.0 or above, you won't have much luck. Scott
