- I know the exact situation you are in...I had a Plus and a 735meg HD with
- it...the problem is not in the HD really, but the Plus (duh) but it can
- be fixed with software...you simply need to use SilverLining 5.28 or
- earlyer, not the current version that you are using...LaCie for some
- reason droped MacPlus SCSI incompatibility patching from the later
- SilverLining versions...the old version should work fine for you...
-
- It may also be a Mac+ rom problem. The old begie Mac+:ses has a rom
- bug that prevents them to boot from a SCSI disk that asserts Unit
- Attention on power up. Unit Attention is a formatting option on most
- drives, but on some drives this (mis)feature cannot be turned off and
- thus wont allow a begie Mac+ to boot from it. The newer platinum Mac+
- has a rom patch that allows it to boot also from a drive that asserts
- Unit Attention.
