Adam,

I'll do the FireWire tests todnight, if I can, but first an apology.

I'd planned to hold off upgrading to 10.2.2 until I'd finished all these tests -- no need to add yet another parameter to the equation -- then my daughter mentions off-handedly that she'd upgraded by system to 10.2.2 yesterday!

So, all my posts up to Thursday morning apply to 10.2.1; from Thursday afternoon it's 10.2.2.

Ah, the joys of children.

Janet
