Yes, I formatted with the OS X 10.2 install disk drive utility. As for the jumper, the drive came right out of the factory bag. The drive is on non-CD bus, it's the only one there, and it was recognized just fine. I've never bothered to change the factory jumper settings on PC's when only IDE drive is on a bus, as they appear to be shipped jumpered in a mode that allows them to work as master if there is no other master. But nevertheless, I just tried it with the jumper in the master position and it still fails. >On my B&W Yosemite / V1 MOBO , I replaced the stock IDE 12GB drive to >the MOBO with an IBM IDE 60GXP 7200RPM 40GB. jumpered for Master. The drive I installed is PC133, but that should still run in the slower PC33 mode I would think. >I used Apple's Drive Setup Utility/ drivers to partition and >format ; and then installed both 9.1 and OSX out to 10.2.1 without any >problems. > > >Can't see that going from 40GB to 60GB would be a problem, but? Yeah, but something is funny. >BTW. The V1 IDE chip "problem" had to do only with not being able to >reliably add a Slave drive along with a Master drive Are you sure about this? I saw some reference to a data corruption problem on some B&W G3s. Paul -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
