I posed this question over on the vintage-computer forum, but I may as well as here too...
I have a Mac Plus, and a Peachtree Systems S20+ external SCSI hard disk. The enclosure has a Rodime R0652 20 MB hard disk in it. Previously I was able to boot and use the drive with no trouble, and the drive Icon matched the logo silkscreened on the enclosure. The drive ran and booted fine, with the exception of some disk errors as the drive filled up. I presumed these must have been bad blocks so I set about to remap the bad blocks. I tried to do this with a couple different utilities, Lido 7 being one of them. It wouldn't remap the blocks without first reformatting the whole drive. This didn't give me any grief since there's nothing of any value on the drive that can't be replaced so I went ahead and reformatted, partitioned and initialized the drive. After installing System 6.0.8, I can no longer boot from the hard disk. I get the Happy Mac, and it goes no further. If I boot from the System 6.0.8 System Utilities disk, I can see the contents and use the drive just fine. What gives? I've tried a 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 interleave factors with no change in results. I have also tried the Rodime 2.03 utility, but it fails miserably when detecting the drive and locks up the SCSI bus. -- -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
