Hi listers,
Thanks for the many pieces of advice. To summarise...
* Stay with XPostFacto
- check SCSI terminations - currently most likely option
- consider switch to IDE - big cost for card + drives, may be worth it
for bigger storage capacity
- consider whether I have some dodgy RAM installed
- pay the 10USD to use the XPF advice forum
- XPF upgrade in devt for 10.3 Panther
* Switch to Sonnet OSX Installer at 30USD
- onboard SCSI ok
- especially ok with other Sonnet PCI adapters
- very little other problems mentioned
- no mention of Panther support yet
I think I'll stick with XPF for a while yet, and I'll focus on checking my
SCSI cable. It's a four drop cable which worked fine with two drives, but
seems to show some niggly problems now that I added an extra drive on this
cable off of the Formac SCSI card.
I'll be happy if I can get 10.1 or 10.2 working.
Thanks again, great list!
