Hi,

I was just wondering if someone could tell me if an ACARD AEC-7720UW will 
work on an Blue and white G3? I was doing some reading at: acard.com and 
they say that you need to update the firmware so that the drive can be 
recognized by "Apple Drive Setup". I will netboot the G3 and do the 
install with pdisk and hformat (of course, I will use newfs on the NetBSD 
partitions). Will I need to update the firmware to be used by NetBSD?

Thanks,
Al
