I haven't tried as I run my 9600 as a server. I'd stick my neck out and say it probably won't help, but don't quote me on that ;). >>re: not seeing non-boot volumes on the network >I am loggin in as an administrator. still can't see >the drives. Sounds like a goof up to do with OS X not being properly supported. Now you mention it I *have* had an instance of a drive dissappearing from my servers mount-list after a reboot. The issue was solved by going in to Sharing under System Preferences and disabling Presonal File Sharing then, after it has shutdown, re-anabling it. This restarts the AFP file sharing service. The drive then appeared as normal. If you are using SCSI drives in this machine with OS X 10.3 there are some weird issues that occasionally lead to the boot timing out and drives not coming to a ready state fast enough, especially on machines using on-board SCSI. Methinks it's a covert attmept at dropping a hint to unsupported users, trouble is I have a perfectly supported B&W G4 (yeh i did type that right - think 'upgrades') with an ACARD SCSI card installed and several SCSI devices and it won't boot reliably fro mthe SCSI bus, despite the card being fully supported by OS X and Bootable on all supported Macs. It's a rave, it really is. I want to run OS X off U160 10krpm drives not the crappy internal ATA33 bus... >>re: finder crashes >I've been using it to toggle the L2 cache control panel >for the G3 card on and off. >In order to use the system 9.1 setup for classic that >I normally use as my native booting system 9.1 folder >I have to turn off the L2 cache control that shipped >with the upgrade card or it crases classic at startup. >I need to keep a fairly full-featured classic system >to do the printing/faxing that I need to do out of my >classic apps. If you want a sage piece of advice from my own experience (again on my venerable B&W G4) I would not use your classic system as a native OS 9.1 boot system. I have 9.2.2 on my G4 twice becuase OS X Classic has chewed up and spat out my original 9.2.2 install and made it almost unsable as a native system. I installed it on one of my nice fast U160 SCSI drives as they boot OS 9 fine! -- Mark Benson http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
