Hi all,
Having difficulty getting a used 500mb Toshiba scsi drive recognized on my PB
520c.
The Toshiba is supposed to be Mac format. It must have been formatted with
Japanese HD software but no idea which.
Tried several times to install English OS 8.1 from an external Apple CD rom
(holding C and then Com-opt-shift-delete) but it will not start up from the
external CDR.
English Apple OS 8 SCSI drive set up lite (on floppy disk) won't recognize
the Toshiba drive either.
The Toshiba HD icon did show up when I booted the PB520 from an external HD
which had a Japanese OS 8 on it.
Next tried putting the PB520 in scsi mode on my Power Mac 6200. Was able to
do an easy install of English OS 8.1 via the destop Mac's CD. It went
through the installation motions.
The PB still won't boot from the Toshiba HD on its own. However when I
attach the external HD (ID #6) it boots up from the English OS 8.1. The
Toshiba HD in the PB has ID 0.
Am i fated to always have to use the external HD for the PB to boot? What
I am doing wrong?
TIA,
Zita
