Ok final update. I put the drive on the end of the cable and set the jumper to active termination as well as various ID settings. Still nothing but a frozen happy mac. I set the whole thing back to it's original configuration with ID set to 4 and re-installed the dead 2GB HD as termination. It works so I guess I'll leave it for now. However I have noticed a problem on startup. When I boot up the computer sometimes I get no chime and the screen doesn't go on. I have to ctrl-cmd-power button to reset and then I get the chime. This however also sometimes produces a blank screen and I have to reset one more time and finally the whole thing works. Anyone know what the heck is going on?
My configuration again: 7300/200 256MB RAM (dead)2GB hard drive on end of cable acting as a terminator 18GB hard drive on middle of cable 12X CD-ROM also on middle of cable ATI Rage 128 (same problem occurred when I was using a VGA adapter on the built-in video port) OS 9.1 (with all updates installed) Firewire card USB v.1 card Thanks for all the help. -- "We're all on the same sinking ship; it's just some of us were volunteered to be the captains." -- anonymous "Put that in your pipe and smoke it!" -- Dr. Evil from Goldmember. -- -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
