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' is the 'hardware reset for the CPU board'.
It may be the only little push button on the board. (I'm not aware of any other PBs on the board. I'm sure others will chime in if I'm wrong.)
On the Beige G3s, it's on the edge away from the power supply, and near the back edge. (back being where the accessory cardedges are exposed to the outer world.)
'Hitting the CUDA' seems to work best (for me anyway) if the machine is powered on, push the CUDA, when you release the CUDA, the machine powers off. Finish whatever hardware things you are in the process of doing, close the machine back up, and apply power (plug in the power cord), and go through the 'turn on' sequence.(Power button, Keyboard power button, whatever you normaly do.
<With the Rev1 board, the CD and Nucleolus
I'm wrong ---- "XXX" ---- need to be seperated. I.E one
on each of the two available IDE buss connectors. (set them both as 'master')>
Nucleolus is the SCSI drive -- what exactly do you mean when you say I should disconnect it from the IDE connector?
The SCSI drive is the one I'm saying to disconnect.
I know I can only have one
IDE device per bus on my Rev 1. One is the CD ROM, and the other is XXX,
the new IDE HD which I want to make my new working HD. I will, however,
confirm master and slave settings when I talk to my boyfriend, though (he
set this up), when it comes to XXX and the CD ROM, since those are both
IDE.
The machine shouldn't have any problem if the drives are NOT set as MASTER, as long as there is only one on each buss.
As long as you only have ONE SCSI device at this time, (Nucleolus) you can disconnect the SCSI cable at the Motherboard end. It's the widest (50 pin) one of the ribbon cables. (Save you the trouble of trying to get at the back of the drive. For testing, (to see if this will get you somewhere) you can leave the power connected to the drive, it won't cause any trouble.
Thanks...
