Re: [PCI] 9600 G3 woes

[Dennis Descoteau]

I have a G4/700 and 1.5 gigs and a 18 gb/10k drive in my 9600 and so  
far so good. Take care, Dennis

As it won't boot, I can't reset the startup disc to one of the other

Looks like each harddrive/device is competing for its share of current
which the 300W power supply can't handle simultaneously at startup ...
The 390 watts from the PSU shuold be enough.
I'm driving a 36 gig 10K drive from the 300 watts in my Beige G3 (a
modification from the Beige's 170 watts) with no problem.
You might want to try setting each other SCSI drive to spool up based
upon its SCSI ID, meaning no delay for drive 0, a delay for drive 1,
twice that delay for drive 2, etcetera.
But with 390 watts, I can't see where the problem could be, unless you
also had 1.5 gigs of RAM.
