I tried to add memory to 160 but couldn't get it to recognize more than 96MB, which is not enough for a new browser. I plan to use the 160 as a word processor but it's HD is going bad.
1. Is it possible to add an ATA/Raid controller and then a HD which would be bootable and still work after the old HD was removed?
2. Following hints I saw in previous messages "installing HD", this is my current plan. Unhook CD-Rom, connect another HD in it's place, start computer and select SCSI zip drive as startup disk, restart and copy old HD to new HD, remove old HD and replace with new HD. Do you think this scheme will work. I have a small system on a zip disk and it works for a startup disk but it doesn't work as a boot disk if I unhook the old HD. I think it has something to do with the zip drivers being on the HD. I don't understand the difference between startup drive and bootable drive.

Folks...
After 7 years, I am retiring my old starmax 3000/160. Rather than put it out in the trash (my wife's preference), I am offering it to the group. It has the original 2.5g HD, a Sonnet G3/400 card, an ATA/Raid controller for a second HD (I am keeping the HD), a USB card, and runs 9.1. I am also willing to throw in a 2x SCSI CD burner and associated cables. I will probably reformat the HD, but have some software, including an iMac 9.1 installation disk, which includes quicken 2001. If it doesn't add too much to the shipping, I have a wooden stand/case cover that I use to protect it from the vacuum cleaner, etc. I will have to check whether I still have the original packaging in my attic. If so, I would use that and not send the stand.
I would like to get at least $50, plus S&H (which may run about $40, based on recent experience.)
I just sprung for a G5, which is a quantum leap in power and speed.
