Yes. I have one 8 GB partition with OS X (in the first 8 GB of the disk, just to be on the save side), one 800 MB partition with a copy of the install CD-ROM (made with Apple Software Restore) and the rest for a partition with OS 9.1. >At what point did you >re-connect the SCSI chain & re-insert the USB card? After the the first run of OS X. Actually, the SCSI-devices were only recognized under 10.1. The USB-card is not recognized, but the USB-mouse (including right button and wheel) works.

I have not tried my 180 Mhz processor (and I probably never will), but the difference between the experience with and without the L2-cache was amazing. However, my first impression still is that at least my Apus 3000 is quite usable. Some things even work faster (and far more reliable) under OS X than under OS 9 (e. g. context menus). Of course, more serious work like video editing is beyond dreaming (but I do not need this). > > The only things that are not working at the moment are my > > SCSI-Scanner, my old Stylewriter II printer and audio in and out. Correction: Audio out works (including iTunes). >As far as your scanner goes, try VueScan, it worked for my old SCSI UMAX >Vista S12. I have already installed this, but the problem is that the scanner is not even recognized. With it plugged in, the other SCSI-devices cease working as well, by the way. I suppose it has to do with not having terminated the scanner, because this has never been an issue with OS 9, but OS X seems to be more picky. I have connected my Powerbook 5300 to the chain in SCSI disk mode, but this did not proved to be a solution, probably because these powerbooks cannot provide SCSI termination. So I am afraid I have to buy a SCSI terminator, except someone has a better solution. Nils -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
