In the weeks since I rescued my s900 from its near death experience I decided to upgrade to 9.1 and get Toast 5.0 and see if I could resume recording my record collection.
Nothing has changed. I am stuck on BTO's 4Wheel Drive, which I have probably recorded eight times in the past year. Using Spin Doctor, 1.6 I think from Toast 5.0 I recorded the record again and immeadiately, before it would even create a wave aiff file it quit and quit everytime I tried loading this file. I tried loading this file into Spin Doctor from Toast 4.12 on the scsi boot drive and was able create the waveform and process it and cut it up into tracks and as soon as I sent it to Toast I got the usual Buss Error. I tried copying this processed file back to the ATA volume where I recorded it and Spin Doctor quit everytime I tried to load it. I had an older version I recorded a couple months ago of this album which Spin Docter 1.0 was able to process but Buss Errored on the hand off to Toast. Spin Doctor 1.6 would just seize up on the handoff and Toast would be non functional. So much for the status quo. I was using Norton System works 1.0 to clean up my hard drives and it locked up half way through Speed Doctoring my 40 gig ATA drive. Today I tried to boot the Norton Disk from my Apple Brand CD Rom in my s900. I started getting strange errors like there wasn't enought memory to open the finder. I tried booting with the C key held down and I got a Type 41 error. This Apple CDrom drive never has worked properly, as it will only read commercial CDroms and nothing I burn. While trying to get the thing to boot up today it gave me another Buss Error. This won't boot. I used to have a 9gig Hitachi SCSI drive in my system but I took it out. The B-leaves got mangled somehow and Apple's First Aid couldn't fix it. I originally formatted this drive using Hard Disk Toolkit 4.5. I lost all the data on this Hitachi drive and was able to get it going again by doing a low level format, but I couldn't Apple's Setup to format the drive. Finally, I got disgusted and took the drive out of the computer and put it in an enclosure. How do you put Apple Drivers on a hard disk? I couldn't get it to go and I couldn't get HD Toolkit to zero the drive so Apple would work. I figured out how this drive got mangled in the first place, while sticking my hands inside the computer one of the cables jimmied up against the jumpers on the XLR8 card which screwed up the clock speed. Insted of 400Mhz it was running at 174Mhz. What is causing these Buss Errors? The front speaker quit working a couple of months ago and I have external speakers hooker up but they seem to use only one channel. I don't know what to do. This is very frustrating.
