Dear Paul, Thanks for your interest in my question. Here is a list of the equipment on my s900:
Radeon 7000 video card, Crescendo G4 processor, Tempo Ultra 66 IDE card, FireLine combo USB/Firewire card. The original CD ROM drive has been replaced with a Plextor Ultraplex PX32TSI CDROM SCSI drive The hard drives are as follows: 9GB Seagate Medalist Pro ST39140N SCSI drive. 2GB Seagate original equipment SCSI drive. 30GB Maxtor Diamond Plus 8 IDE connected as master drive. 20GB Maxtor 52049H4 IDE connected as master drive. The OS 9.1 driver is the latest download from Apple. The OS 9.1 and the OSX target drives are always different drives. I have tried the OSX installation using only the SCSI drives, only the IDE drives or a combination of the two types of drives. When necessary the drives have been partitioned to below 8GB size. The result is always the same. The programs hang with the OS 9.1 drive showing MacOSX selected as the startup drive. The only trouble I have had with the PCI cards is with PDI slot preference. Although I haven't tried all combinations of slots the following slot positions have worked well: (slot 6 being nearest the power supply) Fireline USB slot 4, Tempo IDE 5 and Radeon 6. The position of the Radeon card appears to be most sensitive and only works well in position 6, if the other cards are installed. The Fireline USB/Firewire card works in any position, but requires a powered USB hub when attached to things like a printer, but doesn't require a powered hyb for an OWC Mercury Elite Pro USB external drive. The Tempo IDE card does not work well in positions 1 and 2. Robert Kay -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
