hfstools can't do anything with it.  MacOS 9 sees the drive, but never

i think it is the one with the patch you sent.  could i have the latest
patch?  is anoncvs still down?  i might need a fresh copy of ofb.c as well
if it is (from 2.0)   ;)

there is one, but the 7000 can come with DVI and S-Video, so while mine
