Hi listers -- I bought a B&W a while back and after considerable delays and annoyances have got it up and running OS 9.2.2 -- it's a big improvement over my old 7600 but all the same I want to do some upgrades and am at the moment stymied.
(a) yesterday I replaced the CDROM with a Sony CRX155E burner. Installation was no problem, and it shows up in the System Profiler, but it doesn't work: the tray won't even open. I reseated all the plugs which seem good and solid, then spent the past half hour googling around for a driver update with no success. According to ASP it's running driver version 1.4.8, with "Apple disc burning: supported". What now? (b) It's got a Quantum 6GB IDE HD, and yesterday while installing the CD burner I tried to figure out to install a second HD, specifically a Western Digital 10GB that I got from the swap list but that came without any cables. Plainly to do this it's first going to be necessary to get a dual drive IDE cable, but there has been so much talk about data corruption in this system (this machine turns out to be a Rev 1, alas) that I'm wondering if it's even worth trying: maybe it would be better simply to replace the existing 6GB with the 10GB? The idea is to move into OSX. Any advice much appreciated. Best, Victoria -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
