I've been trying to format an external SCSI drive for my SE 30 and having no luck...yesterday I thought I had a breakthrough...I hadn't terminated the external drive!! Feeling very pleased with myself I bought a terminator (which cost as much as I paid for the SE 30) and plugged it in. I startedup the mac then started up the external drive....the mac froze and now I cannot mount my internal drive, I can start from a floppy but thats about it. My next brilliant idea is to create a startup disk that has SCSI probe on it and try to mount the internal drive that way...does anyone have any input/feedback on whether that would work? Or could I have fried my Hard drive?
Oh..and another thing...when the SE 30 was working I had it hooked up to an ethernet network with my G4, the G4 could see the SE 30 but there were no drives to mount, the SE 30 HD is only 40 megs, is there a size requirement (!) for a newer machine to recognize the drive. This happened in both os X and booting to OS 9.2. Thanks Dan -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
