I've been lurking for a while and checking through the archives so I could try extending the useful life of my S900 for a bit more. I just want to make sure I've got everything straight before I begin.
Current config:
S900 running OS 9.1
XLR8 MACh Carrier G3 366MHz
SCSI bus 0 = Quantum Fireball ST2.1 (system disc), Matshita CD ROM CR506, Seagate SX15150n 4GB
SCSI bus 1 = IBM DCAS32160 2GB, Matshita CDR CW7502, Iomega Zip 100
PCI - tt128M video, Emagic Audiowerks 8, XLR8 firewire and USB cards
1. Will the G3/366MHz have enough horsepower?
2. OS 10.2 or OS 10.3? I only ask 'cause I have the 10.2 discs in hand...
3. SCSI bus 1 will be unusable, correct? So I need to internally mount whatever I want to keep from that bus? I'm a little unclear about how OS X will deal with the S900 SCSI stuff.
3. I'll need a different CDRom than the stock CR506 correct? Can I use the CW7502 or does it have to be Apple branded?
4. I plan to leave OS9 where it is and install a ST339918 (Barracuda) to hold OS X - that needs to be formatted from the OS X cdrom yes?
5. Replace video card (re. current thread on video cards)
Am I missing anything else?
Thanks in advance for the advice and assistance,
Joe.
