- I'm having some annoying problems with the new SuperDrive controller card I just
- installed in my GS. The first strange thing I noticed was that familiar
- ticking sound that is heard when in the finder is now heard all the time from
- the second I turn on my GS. I guess that's ok since the drives connected to
- the card work ok (just annoying).
-
- Secondly, and most important, I installed the card in slot 5 as recomended by
- the owner's guide. I of course switched the control panel setting for slot
- 5 to "your card". I have a high density SuperDrive as the first drive to the
- card, and an older apple 3.5" 800k drive daisy chained to the SuperDrive.
- The problem is that now my ramdisk no longer remaps to slot 2 drive 1 with
- the new controller card, and thus it is inaccessible.
-
- What do I need to do to get the ramdisk back. If I switch the cont panel to
- smartport (disabling the card) the ramdisk appears again. Is there anyway
- to get the ramdisk to remap to slot 2 drive 1 like before? I don't have any
- other slot available except for slot 5 because I also have a 5.25 connected to
- the port which maps to slot 6, and I have a hard drive in slot 7, so I'd
- really like to keep this card in slot 5.
-
- Thanks in advance.
