I think I lost this fact in that long story somewhere - the memory I
used was what was originally in the Beige and working for the last 5
years. It spent a few days in the BW and was then brought back to the
Beige to help troubleshoot. I'm convinced the RAM isn't the problem.

I have a B/W G3 with an XLR8 600MHz G4 CPU upgrade, 896 Mb RAM.
I have been trying to get a Hitachi Ultrastar 146Z10 73Gb SCSI drive
going in this computer for the last day and a half on an ATTO UL3D
card. The driver was installed and then the card was flashed with the
latest firmware update

This is an offshoot from the thread I previously started about setting
up SCSI HD in B/W.
I found a reference to a freeware control panel for OS 9, I think in a
post on an Apple tech forum. This control panel is called Mt.
Everything and is supposed to be the last word in SCSI handling under
SCSI probe is very similar, yes. The ATTO card, a UL3D, has two busses.

So you only have one ATTO PCI SCSI card but two are showing up ?

Each SCSI bus (real or virtual) has its own addressing. They do not collide.

Thanks for confirming that Dan. That is what I thought
I have a B/W, upgraded with an XLR8 G4 zif, which is running from an IDE
drive that used to reside in my old Beige G3 desktop. In that previous
computer OS X had to be installed on the first drive partition and I had
two smaller ones which each had a version of OS 9. All those partitions

OK, the 128 MB version it is then. As for the heat - I have added a
pair of 70mm fans behind the CPU heat sink and snipped off excess metal

7C. One fan overhangs the top of the CPU heat sink and draws air past
the RAM.

I can't reach my external drive via the motherboard FireWire ports.
When I look in the hardware list the FireWire category is completely
blank. Resetting the PRAM does not bring it back. I would welcome any
other suggestions for things to try from the audience.
I have a 1.25GHz MDD DP that has been running happily for a couple of
years from a single 80GB IDE drive on the ATA100 cable. The drive is
almost full now so I decided to try implementing my longer term plan
yesterday, which is to use my ATTO UL3D card and a SCSI drive for the

No, there shouldn't be any interference between a SCSI bus and an ATA

dc, do you have any data on how much difference a fast SCSI drive makes
in a MDD or similar G$ Mac? I just installed one and I have used Disk
Speed Bench X to test the transfer speed. I find 80MB/sec. My original
IDE Hitachi Deskstar on the ATA100 bus is only moving about 50MB/sec.

It would be nice if there was an adapter that went into the mobo IDE
slot so you could run a SATA cable out to the drive. Routing would be
much easier that way.
