Hello Colleagues, Earlier I wrote asking for help with a bootup issue on my G3. It turned out to be a hard drive, where one of the Philips controller chips actually exploded! (a first for me!). It was the OS 9 drive, which left the OS X drive still useable.
Alas, the incident appears to have taken the motherboard ATA controller with it. Fortunately, I have a spare bus on my Sonnet ATA-133 controller. So, the OS X drive is configured as master on Bus 2 of the Sonnet card. When I boot off of a CD (OS 9), the drive mounts fine. Now, my problem.. OS X refuses to boot off of the ATA card. It *should* but doesn't. Has anybody gotten their OS X boot drive to boot off of a controller card (and not the motherboard)? Surely this should be a common configuration! Thank you for your consideration, Dana -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
