Well Jeff, I have more strange behavior. After the successful finger exercises I hooked up the internal SCSI chain and attempted to install a System on the 4 GB SCSI drive. (It was reformatted prior to removal from the c600, where it used to serve as a maintenance disk.) I suspect the drive may be going bad, or there is something flaky in the SCSI chain itself.
Three attempts to install OS 9.1, booting from the internal CDROM drive, hung at "About 8 minutes remaining" in the install process. Disk First Aid indicates "...drive appears to be OK" I tried reformatting and reinstalling and doing a clean install. An attempt to install OS 9.1via the external SCSI CDRW drive indicated it was successful. However the Control Panels folder and Extensions folder were in fact empty. (New one on me!) Don't know how it knew the date and time were incorrect when it did not have that control panel installed. A second attempt gave me a system folder I could not open. I tried to boot from the Disk Warrior CD. (Thank you Alan for sharing Mike Rogers comments about how to do that... sometime back in January) Got strange behavior from Disk Warrior. It hung in step 9 and I had to force restart the machine. While I write this, yet another attempt to install OS 9.1 is taking place. This time I told it to do a clean install, and selected only OS 9.1, foregoing Internet Access, etc. Without a bootable system folder, I can not do any Ramometer checking of the RAM chips. I would like to check them again before reinstalling the PCI cards and the IDE drive. Got any clues. Nancy -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
