Mike Jaeger said: "all i get on the screen is a arrow on the screen. not bong or happy face. i'm at a loss here. need any ideas from the list on this thanks, Mike Jaeger" and Bruce advised him: "SCSI termination and/or ID problems can cause this symptom; I've had it happen to me. Check that all SCSI devices are set with different ID"s and that the internal chain is terminated."
this rang a bell for me in the ongoing mystery of why my 6360 won't boot to its own hard drive yet. what Bruce said triggered something for me. My brother in law ran this machine with an external zip drive attached at the SCSI back port, which I haven't set up yet. But since the machine's internal hard drive is IDE, it doesn't provide termination. I assume the zip drive, being the ony and therefore last device when connected in the SCSI chain, must have done so, for the way my brother in law had his running. would the absence of the zip drive [termination] on the SCSI port cause the machine to fail to be able to boot the internal IDE hard drive? would i get a grey screen and just the cursor arrow, as Mike described? janet http://community.webtv.net/mensabrains/BADCODE -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
