Sonnet Technologies used to make a popular

card, but demand dropped below the radar and

discontinued their PCI card. After 5 years Apple

stopped making replacement parts, so who can

blame them. The other option is a compromise

in functionality, it’s a software solution that

allows you to partition the drive, 127.9 GB

for the first partition and then the rest for a

second. It’s Intech Software’s SpeedTools ATA

Hi-Capacity Driver. You can boot off the first

partition or the original drive, and as long as

the driver is present, the 2nd partition will be

seen. Problem is when you boot off a diagnostic

CD, you won’t have the driver loaded and the

2nd partition will be unavailable. The software

is $24.95, so that is clearly the budget way to

go. See http://www.speedtools2.com/ATA6.html

Personally what I would have done, is instead of

buying an old school parallel ATA drive, would

have been to buy a newer style Serial ATA drive

and get a SATA PCI card. The ACARD AEC-

6290M SATA controller card is just $54.99

which is $15 less than the PATA card, which

would have allowed you to get a cooler and

faster SATA drive. 250 GB PATA drives are

$60. For the difference, you could have sprung

for a 500GB Hitachi Deskstar drive. SATA

drives are what they use now in the Mac Pro, so

if you figure on modernizing by 7 years, having

a big SATA drive you could slide into a Mac

Pro would have made things a bit easier.

| I setup a BlackBerry for my daughter while

logged into my Mac under my account. How

do I transfer the data to her account? Do I

just copy the icon to her account?

I don’t know anyone doing any syncing from

their Mac to a BlackBerry. They aren’t very Mac

friendly there. The offer PocketMac software

as a free download. The application icon would

be shared by both users if you just leave it in

the usual location, inside the /Applications

folder. The data is not stored within the appli-

cation. I would assume if the data is currently

in sync from the blackberry to your account, if

she uses the software and syncs, then another

copy would be synced to her account. You

could probably ignore the data file taking up a

tiny amount of space where it is in your home

folder. According to the user manual, it seems

to store the info from the BlackBerry to your

~/Library/Application Support/PocketMac/

folder. (where ~ is your home folder) You could

Take Control News:

Better Backups with

New Ebooks and Free

Content

by Adam C. Engst

When Joe Kissell set out to revise

“Take Control of Mac OS X Backups” to

create a third edition that would cover

both Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and 10.5

Leopard, he realized that he faced the

Herculean task of list ing all known Mac

backup programs, along with notes

about their features. The category of

Mac backup applications has exploded

of late : what had been a long appendix

became impossible to keep updated

long enough to produce an ebook and

call it “up-to-date.” We have solved

that problem by posting the informa-

tion for free on our Web site, creating

what has to be the largest compilat ion

of Mac backup applications - currently

90 different programs. Because the

information is in HTML on the Web,

rather than in PDF, Joe should stand a

chance at keeping it reasonably

updated. We also posted about 20

book pages of instruct ions for working

with the current version of Retrospect,

still one of the most feature-rich

backup programs available (but slated

for replacement by a rewritten version

later this year).

If you want a comprehensive look at

all that’s changed in the backup world

recently, turn to the third edition of

our best-selling “Take Control of Mac

OS X Backups,” in which Joe helps

readers go beyond the false security of

turning on Time Machine or copying a

few files to CD. You’ll find an at-a-

glance comparison of dif ferent backup

strategies (low-cost, easy, safest),

along with extra advice for backing up

digital photos and massive video proj-

ects. You’ll learn the pros and cons of

each type of backup media, including

hard disk, Time Capsule, Internet

backup ser vice, optical disc, and more;

discover how to pick the best backup

software for your needs; and find time-

tested recommendations for setting

up, testing, and maintaining backups,

complete with essential instructions
