    Smart Card On OSX

    How can I lock my Mac with a USB pen drive so that I have to have the pen drive to unlock it? Any software programs to do this with? Or any built-in features I have with it that I am unaware of? I have only had a Mac Pro for 1-2 months. Thanks, Jesse

    Well I have a RAID5 array running 4 hard drives, a RAID1 array with 2x250 and a bunch other drives not RAIDed, but the problem is, when I have the RocketRaid 1640 by Highpoint Technology installed in ANY pci slot, it makes the other Promise chip on my motherboard not work I'm guessing.
