[QUOTE="Samd23, post: 1924546, member: 416436"] Gotta say Jake, that is making more and more sense to me... but I have weirdly been enjoying the challenge of trying to make this work. I've learnt a lot. Most of it probably useless in the scheme of things but you know, you live and learn... There is also a perverse part of me that just wants to vent my ire about some of Apple's way of doing things since the change to Intel processors. My old G4 powermac back in the day was an awesome machine that did everything I wanted it to extremely well. Even my current ancient iMac seemed to behave better prior to high sierra. If I am remembering correctly it was great up to and including el Capitan, but it could have been a prior OSX version. I am also interested to see if anyone has had any joy with this set up because the internet is littered with people struggling with this and having tried all the solutions offered to the best of my, all be it limited, abilities I'd like to know if what I am doing is even possible. I guess I am hoping that some expert will take a look and say that I am either on a hiding to nothing and it is not possible to do what I want, or that I have missed some vital ingredient and all I have to do is X, Y or Z to achieve what I want! Anyway, peace be with you. Take her easy SamD23 [/QUOTE]
