Please Sque, give me more details about this paragraph (?) "The reason for this is to completely clear the pram which may have been corrupted by the vga converter for example. This is not very likely but worth a look."

If so unplug it and remove the pram battery, if you have a meter to test the battery voltage then do so, buying new doesn't guarentee a good battery. Voltage over 3.0 is acceptable according to the manual The reason for this is to completely clear the pram which may have been corrupted by the vga converter for example. This is not very likely but worth a look. Do the 605's have a cuda as some of the 475's do? >By the way, I have another question: a friend of mine give to me a 9GB >SCSI Hard disk �do you know if this HD works in my Quadra? > > Yes. Getting it to work maybe a bit of a chore. I had quite a bit of trouble formatting a old 2gb formatted with HFS+. HDSC patched did little to help and this was a apple OEM drive. Try http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/hd.html for various formatting utilities. Start with HDSC7.3.5 patched and see how you go. LIDO is another some folks recommend, not my favorite. Try not to format the whole drive as this may take a very long time, rather partition the drive and then initilize them on reboot. Its up to you. Why you wish to use such a large drive in a pizza box mac is beyond me, your not likely to fill it, again its up to you. Best of luck -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
