I did a test setup with 2 20MB, 1 40MB partition, with the rest of the drive space in the 4th, and it works just great now! Thanks. It writes and reads without any problem now, and with my 4MB of ram coming, all I need now is a wretched keyboard... >>>For a Mac Plus, set the device plugged into the Mac to provide TERMPWR to >>>the bus.

Older >>>devices that have resistor packs to remove to disable termination often >>>can't provide their own TERMPWR.<<< I haven't checked the jumper settings on the 50MB drive, but I don't remember messing with them since I got it, and that drive initially worked just fine with the plus. However, I mounted it on my color classic, and aside from reading at an incredibly slow rate, it didn't seem to function properly. I think I'm going to swap the guts out from the working 2GB drive and put them into the other case now it's working again. It's one of those cool APS cases that fit perfectly underneath the original Mac form factor cases, and it will complete the look :) -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
