I really don't like to use FWB. Is there a way to use the Apple hard drive set up or a way to make the drive so that it is supported??? It is a brand new Western Digital 18gb scsi . Also, would it be better to partition this hard drive since I want to use it as my main boot drive? Any thoughts would be appreciated.>>
I have a pair of these drives in a 7500. Apple Drive Setup can be hacked to recognize them. You might try this link for more info on the hack: <http://www.euronet.nl/users/ernstoud/drvsetup.html> Having little experience with ResEdit it took a couple of attempts before I got it right. After opening the fSCR registry in Apple Drive Setup with ResEdit, I used the "QUANTUM,*" (resource 299) as the model for my newly created "WDIGTL,*" name which is listed as resource 128. Of course always use a COPY of Drive Setup when attempting the hack. This will keeping you original file intact in case the hack fails. --glen (digest mode) -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
