I've managed to get a Conner CFP2107S 2Gig hard drive recognized and formatted in my Quadra 605 using the method described at:
http://www.euronet.nl/users/ernstoud/patch.html. Since there isn't room for both the original IBM 160M drive and the new one, I'd like to move everything over to the new drive, boot from it, and eliminate the original drive altogether. Is this possible without reinstalling everything from scratch? (I found this Mac on the street and it was loaded with a bunch of neat stuff. However, I don't have the original software to reload it). I looked for this sort of thing in the FAQs but couldn't find anything. Some of you must have done this sort of thing before. Any hints, web resources, etc? I've formatted the new drive 1/2 MacOS and 1/2 A/UX because I want to play around with Mac's UNIX. I'm pretty familiar with Linux but don't have a clue about A/UX. I got A/UX from the Apple site and plan on installing it after I get the MacOS loaded. Are there any good references on the internet about how to do this? Finally, I daisy chained the Conner drive with the original drive as I formatted it. It seemed to get quite hot. I felt the original drive and it stayed cool. I'm wondering, when I permanently install the Conner drive in the case if the heat will dissipate through the metal that surrounds it. Does anyone have any experience with hot running HDs? I doubt that there's room for an extra fan in the Q605 because the case is so small. Thanks, Mike -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
