got a weird one here, was wondering if anyone can recreate and/or confirm - PowerMac 8100/80, MACOS 8.6, 264M, seagate ST39216N - 9 Gig 50 pin drive
- using Hard Disk Toolkit 2.0 to initialize 9G disk as a 9G partition and then boot problem: - 8100/80 refuses to boot from 9G disk with good Sys folder other info: - 8100/100 boots fine from the 9G with HDT driver - 8100/80 boots fine with <2G partition with HDT driver - tried several 8100/80 system boards, all refuse to boot with >2G partitions - also tried HDT 4.5, same problem - 8100/100 has a slower bus speed, so it clocks down my 300Mhz G3 to 266, ARGHH - contacted FWB support, no help, they say use <2G partitions - double - ARGHH !!!! was wondering if anyone can confirm that their 8100/80 can't boot from a > 2G HDT partition extra credit.... - to see if an 8100/110 can boot from a > 2G HDT partition TIA, jim -- 1st-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
