So it's only some of them? I see that I/O Data isn't listed, so I'd
better go check (a) whether they've noticed there's a problem and (b)
whether they've done something about it if there is....

I'm still using OS 9.2 on my work G4 (since NisusWriter hasn't yet been
completely rewritten for OSX), but we need OSX for the Internet eMac and
some applications don't even run on this "elderly" version 10.1.5. The
Firewire hard disk is usually attached to the G4 as continuous backup,
but it sometimes gets moved to the eMac for transferring large files
(such as my photos).
