the jumper was on 'CS' (Cable Select, I assume this sets software control on the master/slave behavior ??). I put it back to master (anyway, the disk is the only drive on this ide), but still no luck... > done.

Nevertheless, maybe a hint for other quik fans out there : I moved a graphic card from an older machine (which is used as a fw/gateway, and has absolutely no need for X) to the 'new' one, and suddenly the older machine couldn't boot with quik, giving me the same 'Claim failed' error... I put the card back, wihtout changing any settings (apart from 'output-device' ;), and it worked (as it did before). This older machine (PowerMac 6400) is known not to boot whit the on-board graphics controller. Maybe it's the same thing with the G3 (rev2). (Maybe I'll try that one day) Thanks for your suggestions, Simon -- Simon Vallet Institut National Agronomique Paris-Grignon eqdar at castalie dot org
