Re: Anyone got 9600 with G4 running OSX?

[Bill's In th' House Connelly]

There's something about the partition size for the OS X system that may  
be something to look into ... I believe it needs to be 8GB or less, and  
it needs to be the first partition on your drive. I made mine 7.5GB and  
it is the first partition of my ATA drive on one machine, and I believe  
it is the first one on the external SCSI on my other 8500.

I use a separate partition for the Classic OS 9.1 (specifically NOT  
using 9.2 ... according to Sonnet)

Both my machines have ATA drives, but only one is using a SCSI  
harddrive as well. Both have SCSI CDRoms in use and external SCSI  
devices.

OS X is very particular as to well-terminated SCSI chains.

Good Luck,

Bill

It seems that those who have gotten OS X to work have either a IDE

USB, is either one or both of these required to get OS X to work?  My

w/ Sonnet 450/1 card would not get far into the install before getting  
an

that be
the problem?
