I'm pleased to say the "barebones" 7600 arrived safely from the eBay vendor and happily accepted the drives from the 7200. Interestingly it took 3 or 4 restarts before it booted fully and for some strange reason decided to install a RAM disk which was certainly nothing to do with the original start up routine on the 7200.
It almost seemed like the 7600 needed to "warm up" a few times before its was ready to function fully. There's been no problem since. It's now running with a Sonnet G3 400MHz card and is looking good. Thanks for the advice from the list Cheers Martin on 8/9/03 9:10 pm, Duggie at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Dear all, > > I've just managed to buy a "barebones" 7600 on eBay ie it's lacking drives > and memory but at least has a motherboard and a power supply! > > I'm planning to transplant all these features and more from my venerable > 7200 which has served me well but is not affordably upgradeable to a G3 or > G4. > > Could anyone tell me if the system running on my 7200 (8.6) is likely to run > with little modification on the 7600 or would I be better off doing a clean > install and then adding in all the bits like printer drivers and USB card > extensions. > > Any help, as ever, gratefully received. > > Best wishes > > Martin >> > -- Mac UK is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Mac UK list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/mac-uk.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-uk%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
