OK. i should have expected this. let the controversy begin. i got two exact opposite replies. Now I need more of you people to weigh in and vote for one or the other. on the one hand ,I get Jeff, telling me ------- "Yup, I have found this a bother, too. In PCs the thrust is Red faces power conn. of the hard drive. But the Mac is different." ... (thanks for the birthday wishes, jeff)
Jeff G ------------------------------ But then i get Peter telling me this! ------------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] The red stripe indicates Pin 1. Pin 1 is always towards the power connector. Always has been; always will be. Remember: Key UP; Red RIGHT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ that's what i thought, Peter! but look at Jeff's answer! ----- soooooooo...put yourself in my place. you open up your performa 6360 mac and look at the hard drive, and the red stripe is facing away from the molex. you've never gotten this mac to boot from the hard drive since you acquired it. it will read cd's in the cd rom drive. and that's all the farther you've ever gotten with it. the last owner swears he ran it just fine, right up until the day he gave it to you 2 years ago..what do you think? what do you do next? -janet- -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
