Yo compacters everywhere, To my original thread here:
>>When starting from my long reliable System 7.1 external hard drive on any >>number of perfectly good SE compacts, I am getting an alert window with a >>message of an address error and an error code 39. Gamba <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> responed questioning: >Did this HD work OK with those compacts previously? You bet. They were nuked, paved, and loaded from this very (and now errant) drive. >If yes, what did you do to HD between now and then? Turned it off. Turned it on the next day and found error code 39 city. >If no, is the 7.1 a universal install? Nope. It is tailored specifically for my SEs. I find it boots my Classics just fine except I have no brightness control panel. Bye the waye, This external is a 160 MB drive partitioned as three drives: an SE load, a Classic load, and a partition just for diagnostics to nuke, pave, test, and fix my SEs and Classics. I use FWB to set which partition is the boot partition then work on all of the SEs I've stacked up. Then switch which is the boot partition and work on Classics for a while. Occassionally I'll run a Classic from the SE partition or an SE from the Classic partition without any issue. >Was the 7.1 installed by using a Mac that has more RAM than the compacts? Nope. This external drive was created on an SE, by an SE, for SEs. The specs of all of my SEs and Classics are the same-all have 4 MB RAM. I got 1 MB RAM coming out of my ears. Filling up SEs and Classics is all I can figure to do with it. Then along comes another SE/30 with eight 1 MB RAM sticks that I have to find new homes for. And over in the corner is a Quadra 950 with SIXTEEN 1 MB RAM sticks in it. SIXTEEN for chris' sakes. >Has the 7.1 been updated with the 3.0 Updater? Yup. The little guy's face is right there on the extension in the extension folder and shows as it loads right up front. NOW for the rest of the story. After a week of this error code 39 sillyness driving me bats, I take a week off and go to the Oregon coast to fly the Apple logo kite Doc Betz made for me. When I come home and get back to my bench-HOLA! no more error code 39 anywhere. It's gone. I try to provoke it but it is gone. Folks, this is one of those cases that got some rest and fixed itself. Doc, the kite flys just fine. Bill -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
