hi stuartpa, your experience counts a lot round here.
if you have any problems transferring the hard drives (i expect you will), pace protection is used by digi, it's particularly nasty!
the only way around this is to clone the hard drive to a disk or partition that pace can't see! there is a piece of soft available for os9 that will do this.
i don't want to mention the name at this point because it's obviously a hackers delight! try a personal email to me if you do experience this problem...
