I bought an 18 gig scsi drive for my tired old 8500, but after installing it, I found that when I tried to copy files from one drive to another my computer would freeze, but not like a normal freeze I am used to. The clock would stop, as would the progress bar in the file transfer window, but the mouse would still move.
My 8500 had been having a lot of other problems, so when I went to the Salvation Army and saw an 8600 with 512 megs of RAM, OS 9.1, and an internal Jaz drive, I plunked down the 80 bucks that they were asking. I have had the 8600 up and running for a week now, moved all my file into it, works great. Today I installed the 18 gig drive, and now when I try to copy files again, I get the freeze. Somewhere in the back of my head the phrase "terminantion issue" keeps popping up. Could this be the problem? If it is, what do I do about it? Or what else could be going on? The drive is a Western Digital 18gig, 68-pin SCSI, with a 50-pin adapter attached. BTW, I can't believe how great the 8600 case is to work with, after struggling with the 8500 for many years. The whole thing has been worth it, just for the ease-of-use factor. Warren Bowman -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
