I have been using FWB HDTK (Version 3.something) to format and setup the drives. I can get all 5 drives to work as single drives, and with OS 8.1 installed on one, the machine will boot. For some reason, in this mode, it will not boot from the CDROM. Is this because one of the drives on the JackHammer is ID 3 as is the CDROM?
My real disappointment is that I had intended to create a RAID array by striping the disks, but if I do this, and install OS8.1 on the stripe, the machine just will NOT re-boot :-(
Any suggestions?
Have you tried RAID Toolkit 1.8? The RAID support in HDTK 3 is kind of crappy but RTK was a good product back in the day. I ran a RAID on my IIci and JackHammer card using RTK back when (four ST32550W). I've also used RTK to run a bootable RAID on a Power Computing Power 120, so it supports a range of machines that should include the Q950. I'm not sure about OSs beyond 7.6.1 though. I think I was definitely avoiding OS8 back then.
