- Rob:
- I have the same kinda disaster with SS... I am trying to boot to the
- external SCSI drive, but after the NEC Driver or the QuickTime
- extension loads, the system locks up. The SCSI LED on my 3000T either
- goes out or stays on solid (no flicker, just locked solid). Sometimes
- this also seems to corrupt the HD, and I have to run Norton Utils after
- booting into a FileDisk. But I can't get SS to boot into the HD.
- Sometimes the HD isn't the only thing that is corrupted, either
- (FileDisks seem to get it once in a while as well).
-
- I have come to believe that this is the Mac OS's fault, since I took the
- same external drive to school and intended to format it as a Mac HD, but
- the Mac OS's Disk Tools(?) said that it was an Unsupportted Drive. This
- was the original Seagate 240MB SCSI-2 FAST HD that came with my 3000T.
-
- While this HD isn't actually new technology, I have heard that a Mac
- doesn't support anything over a gigabyte or two, max. This seems to
- indicate that the Mac doesn't even support SCSI-2.(?)
-
- Is your HD a SCSI-2 FAST (or WIDE) HD?
-
- Or would anyone else know what the skinny is on Mac HDs?
