hi, another mac list referred me here...hope someone can help me! i just inherited a PB Duo 2300 with minidock, duo dock, LaCie CD-R drive, plus other stuff. i've been having many problems with the scsi chain. Tried hooking up a Zip drive and the LaCie Drive. Also have another Panasonic portable CD drive I tried putting on the chain. Once or twice I got it all to work but when I shut down or restarted, the cd drives never worked again. Almost always the Zip worked fine...even with the cd drive on the chain. My current problem seemed to have happened after I reinstalled the LaCie drive software and successfully got the drive to mount. I left the computer on overnight and in the morning the desktop was gone. Most of it anyway. It was frozen so I had to shut down. After that the PB would not restart. I get the initial start up chimes but nothing else happens. The drive does not attempt to start as far as i can tell. Tried hooking it up directly into a wall outlet, with just the minidock, back in the duodock, without any scsi devices. Is it time to find a Mac technician or is there something else i can do to fix this myself? I really have no idea what it could be. I can't believe the drive is dead. it made no unusual sounds or anything like that prior to this failure. thanks in advance for any help/tips!
