I have been having a similar problem with scsi. I am always able to use Toast, but after burning a cd, if I don't restart and disconnect the drive, my 2400 will eventually crash. I am probably going to get the cardbus upgrade and get a new usb or firewire cd-r (to go with our new iMac.) I am sure the problem is a connection, although I don't know if it's the cable or the 2400 connector. > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (Duo/2400 List) > Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2000 07:05:06 EDT > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (Duo/2400 List) > Subject: [Duo2400] Flaky SCSI connector/cables on PB2400 > > > Hi, > > I have two SCSI system cables (HDI-29 to 50-pin) for my Powerbook 2400. > Both of them give flaky connections.
