Can someone briefly describe or list chronologically what takes place during start up/system boot. (Or refer me somewhere that has the info.) I am specifically interested in what gets power first and how the SCSI and PCI busses communicate with the system in determining the connected hardware.
I have an 8500/G3 with the three PCI slots filled and a SCSI drive and CD ROM on internal bus 0, zip drive on external SCSI bus1. From top down the PCI slots are filled with USB, FW, ATA 66 controller. Thanks, Mike -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
