Thanks for all the suggestions from the onset of my Wallstreet Tiger XPF project. A lot of listers answered my call for assistance and I used something from everyone. I finally got my Wally 300MHz runing Tiger via XPF it has a 80GB drive with 3 partitions. I can boot the 60 GB with the helper partition. Now I need the stuff to run DVDs on it. The biggest problem I finally realized was the power adapter I was using on my external Card Bus Firewire card to make up the internal drive with was too low power and was making crap CCCs and I could never make up a bootable large partition, all weekend was lost. I didn't want to be stuck with a small Tiger drive, and even though i could boot the external what a treat that would look like at the library:-) But after a shot in the dark with a 12v 1.5 amp adapter, Voila! I found I was using a 5v adapter. The card doesn't state the voltage requirement so the lights were on but nobody home. That's why the darn thing was taking 5 hrs to CCC the big 60 GB volume. The machine is really upgraded now. So the internal 80 GB Fujitsu drive is as follows. 1. Xpostfacto Tiger OS9 helper =8 GB bootable 2. Tiger and OS9.2.2 =60 GB bootable 3. OS8.6 =6 GB bootable John Carmonne wtmm Yorba Linda USA 26 kids all named Mac -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
