SCSI CD-RW Drive Issue

2009-02-24 Thread Will_i_am
Anyone happen to know if there are compatibility issues using an old (1999) Yamaha 6x4x16x SCSI (external) burner connected to a G3 minitower (full-capacity RAM and 366 Mhz CPU) such as using standard FujiFilm 8x24x CD-R discs? I run OS9.2.2 on the G3. This would be my first attempt at using a

SCSI-2 Device on a G3 Beige MiniTower?

2009-02-24 Thread Will_i_am
Will a SCSI-2 device such as a Teac CD-RW external drive work on a Beige G3 MiniTower running OS 9.2.2? I can't seem to find any information on just what SCSI this machine supports. Is it involved and expensive to retrofit this machine with SCSI-2? I'm assuming this G3 probably has only SCSI-1

Yamaha CRW4260TX Compatibility with G3

2009-02-26 Thread Will_i_am
I have a chance to pick up a used Yamaha external SCSI CD-RW burner, model CRW4260TX (4x2x6x). To my knowledge, it is a 50-pin SCSI-1. Would this old Yamaha be a good match and compatible under MacOS 9 on the G3 or if not what more recent and faster models would be compatible? I do have a

Correction! I'm now told it is a SCSI-2 device, not SCSI-1 as I first stated. Sorry about that. On Feb 26, 3:48 pm, Will_i_am wmhatch...@gmail.com wrote: I have a chance to pick up a used Yamaha external SCSI CD-RW burner, model  CRW4260TX (4x2x6x).  To my knowledge, it is a 50-pin SCSI-1

G3 Beige MT with Two IDE Hard Drives

2009-03-04 Thread Will_i_am
I have inherited a Beige G3 Minitower with 2 IDE hard drives, one is ~20 Gb while the other is ~30 Gb. On one is MacOS 9.2 while on the other is MacOS 8.6. The issue is that boot ups are very slow almost like the machine is searching for a startup disk. The system is maxed out insofar as
