Hi.

Names Lee.

I have a Power Mac 7600/120 that is now a G3 450.  I took out the internal
Scsi hard drive and did not connect anything back to the system board.  I
left the SCSI CD rom in place to its connector.  Having a large 20 Gig IDE
100 drive I connected it to a SIIG IDE 133 card along with ATI's Exclaim 3D
pro and my USB and Fire wire card by Mac Alley.

So now that you know what I am working with I need help with the
installation.

First thing I would like to prep is checking all the pin settings for the
SCSI hard drive by part number is anyone could help me locate that
information.  This system is a put together by parts as the case is a
7300/180 and the Gestid is 68 so I do not know if.  I already have the
primary drive partitioned to just under 8 meg for the installation.

So if someone could help me with checking my termination I would greatly
appreciate it.

I have tried to install Mac OS X 10.0.4 and OS X 10.1 using the same
configuration as listed above but when using XpostFacto and booting into OS
X it gets to the configure part to install on an active drive and no active
drives show and I get a prior message that say could not find OS 9 on any
partition.

Some have said that it might be that those older versions of X might not
have support for IDE 133 cards.

I wonder if you remove the hard drive from your puter should you also remove
the cable if you do not replace the device for purposes of termination?

Any help would be great I get Jaguar tomorrow.

Many thanks.

Lee
