Hi Kevin:
I have read your request and a couple of the replies so far posted, and I am just a little confused as to whether your post has a typo or not. Your note talks about "CD" in one place but "HD" in another and I am just wondering if you really mean that you cannot boot from EITHER your CD player or your internal HD or whether any of these acronyms is a typo.
I can't get it to boot of either the internal CD drive or the internal hard drive. There is a 50 pin connector on the mother board. It has a ribbon cable plugged in to it which plugs in to the CD drive with a 50 pin connector. From there it goes to the hard drive and connects via a standard IDE connector. Part of the ribbon cable ends at the IDE connection. There are several strands of it that just dead end there. As for the power cable on the CD drive, there is none there or in the case. The drive works though. I put a G4 hardware test disk in it that started to run until it detected that it wasn't inserted in a G4. So I assume it gets it's power from the ribbon cable. Strangest thing I have ever seen. I have a AIO G3 that has a mix of IDE and SCSI, but no on the same channel.
Thanks--
Kevin
