As recommended by people on this list in relation to an earlier query (thank you!) I have acquired a second hand external SCSI drive (68 pin enclosure containing HP 18.2Gb SCSI 3 LVD/SE drive) in order to perform backups - and restores - using the beloved Carbon Copy Cloner.
The disk was recognized after a reboot (quite hard to get used to having to reboot all the time after years of Firewire!) and formatted, and CCC used to clone my Mac OS X image into a partition slightly less than 8Gb at the 'start' of the 18Gb drive.
However when I try and boot from the newly copied image (i.e. set it using StartUp Disk and reboot), the Mac simply goes into target disk mode, displaying the floating SCSI symbol instead of booting.
What am I doing wrong?
Is it because I have not yet terminated the external drive? (terminator still coming in the mail and I thought it safe to have a play!). Or should I not be using wide SCSI with the Apple HDI-30 connector?
The cabling is as follows: the original HDI 30 that came with the Wallstreet plugged into its SCSI port, and that cable ends in a 50 pin female Centronics plug, then joined to a cable that goes from 50 pin male Centronics to the 68 pin male plug required by the external enclosure.
Any suggestions very welcome thanks.
