Ohhh dear. Okay, so what is CUDA, what does it look like, and where do I
find it? Presuming the phone call I'll have to make to my boyfriend will
be enough for him to talk me through opening up my G3 and finding the
right cable to pull......
The cuda switch on a beige is down on the motherboard by the processor slot. It looks like a small 3-4 mm square box with a round black dot in the middle of it. With the computer off you can press it with the eraser end of a pencil.
This is a picture of one on a different Mac motherboard <http://www.aticonsult.com/images/StarMax3160_Cuda440.jpg> but the switch is the same.
<With the Rev1 board, the CD and Nucleolus need to be seperated. I.E one
on each of the two available IDE buss connectors. (set them both as
'master')>
This is bad advice. If one drive is SCSI it has nothing to do with the IDE drive or it's visibility.
Most likely the new drive isn't properly connected, a cable has come lose somewhere else or it's a master/slave issue with another drive on the same IDE bus.
I have had one Beige MT that didn't want to boot with an IDE drive attached to the IDE cable by itself when the drive was jumpered for Master. I had to remove the jumper and have nothing set on the drive.
Then it booted. I don't know if this was a rom issue, a drive issue or what. If it still doesn't show, and it's by itself on the bus, try that.
