I had a similar problem after I installed a Western Digital ATA drive to a Sonnet Tempo66 in my S900. It worked fine for weeks, the suddenly, that machine would not boot (hardware would seem to run fine). I could almost get it to boot off a CD-ROM....almost.
Turns out that there was some very low level incompatibility with the Apple Driver for OS9 (not sure about earlier OS), this drive, and the Tempo card. My S900 wouldn't recognize that there was a HD attached (I found this out when the chaos demons gave me a break and let a CD boot). The only way I could get the drive back was to install it into a PC and format it from there. Good luck -Robyn On Sunday, June 30, 2002, at 06:01 AM, Paul F.
