Greetings Everyone, A while back (over a year ago, actually), I had asked how to resolve a problem I had with a PM 9500/132. Hopefully somebody will be able to help me with this as it is driving me insane!
The Problem: When starting the system, the folder with the flashing question mark appears....a sign that the computer cannot find the system files, boot files or the finder. However, when I try to put in an OS 9.1 disk, the computer will "see" the inserted disk, but fails to see the hard drive....at all! It is driving me absolutely bonkers! What I have done, so far: 1.) Replaced the battery (twice) 2.) Replaced the RAM 3.) reset the PRAM 4.) Depressed the CUDA chip, as per specifications 5.) Replaced the Hard Drive (twice) and tried to attempt a clean install (but can't accomplish it, if the durned thing can't/won't recognize a hard drive even being on the computer) 6.) Replaced the Logic Board Is there anything that I have missed, save for replacing all of the SCSI cables? Or would that be my final option before I launch it to Mars? Any / All help, advise, or assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in Advance, Donald Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature.
