Problem solved. Apparently there was an issue of the mounting points grounding out against the case. I installed some of those carbon washers in between the motherboard and the mounting studs and now it works just fine. On to my next question. I have the new SCSI HD mounted and using the 80/50 pin adapter the drive is recognized by OS 9.2.2. Should I go ahead and initialize this drive under OS 9 or wait and have Panther do it when I get around to installing it? I realize the drive will have to be re-partitioned when I install Panther on it, but will this go smoother if the drive is already initialized? I also have a Rage 128 from my B&W in this machine now, do I still need XPostfacto or not?
Go ahead and initialize it now to make sure it works and you can initialize it. Many scsi drives are not supported by drive setup, so it is best to get any problems and variables out of the way before you try and install Panther.
And yes, you will need Xpostfacto to install panther on a beige. It is not just the video card, but also the missing usb bus that flags the beiges as not supported in installing Panther.
