Thanks Glenn. Hmmm. Not great news. Another question then:
Since the ADB LaCie won't work in a USB system, and I've read that the
new USB LaCie puck is a bad/expensive choice, can anyone recommend a
decent, reasonably-priced USB calibrator for my G4/LaCie 19ElectronBlue?
And how about my ADB LaCie electron 21/108? will a new USB puck
calibrator and software work with it?
Should wait 'til OSX is out before I make decisions about new color
calibration hardware/software?
apologies if this is a rehash of old topics...

No, it won't work. It will work with a Blue and White G3 using a
