Hi Paul sorry to hear you're having so much trouble. I can offer help for your first problem (above). Your computer is booting into "SCSI disk mode". this is triggered by the presence of the 30th pin on the powerbook end (the square end that plugs into your powerbook) of your SCSI cable. either get a normal SCSI cable with only 29 pins (one missing in the corner), or (if you have a switch on it) switch the connector to "SCSI" or "OFF" (and not "DOCK" or "ON"). hope that helps. let us know if it doesn't make sense cheers!
