<<I hope listens aren't worn out from this thread, caused by my 8500, but I have to get these things right, . . . . >> -------
Not at all. ------- <<*I checked two other CD drives and saw termination jumpers on them. That seems to fly against what has been discussed, however, I reread Glen's post, that Apple Cad's have no termin.jumper, only Term.Power, and whether it is On or Off is okay. I saw HD pin prs. TE and TP; termin.= -enabled, and termination-power. Can someone explain the differences?>> -------- As often said "Google is your friend" A quick search for "SCSI termination power" revealed: http://www.lowendmac.com/tech/termination.shtml at the top of the list. And many other links as well. The link above is dated but so is the 8500. I would set your CD to the default settings which IIRC includes having Term PWR and Parity jumped. Seer speculation on my part but stock Apple CDD's my be self terminating so you may want to take termination off your HDD and re-cable (if possible) so you CDD is the last (terminating) drive on the chain. I don't know if this will work but it may be worth a try as a last resort. -------- <<I'm still on a 6100/G3/240MHz Sonnet; it has the [PCI] posts. The cpu temperature was 130=B0, compared to my 8500's operating temp. of 100=B0. I don't know what is too high for cpu's; one spec. sheet said 50=B0C is t= ops, so I ripped a 286 peecee fan and mounted it under the case intake venting= =2E I patched into 12v. of CD-ROM plug. Noisy, but now stays @114=B0/46=B0C.>> -------- My 6100/G3/300 MHz NewerTechnology is running at 150 F as I write this and has done so for years. Don't know about Sonnet Max temps. In addition to what you have done you can also place container lids under the case feet (I'm using ones from cat litter containers) to prop the case up an extra 1/2 inch for better ventilation. You can also tie a small fan around the post near the 601 Chip but I don't know if that will do much good. <<Flatpac Macs are so darn e-z to access. Do 8500 mobo's fit into 7300's? I like the 8500's roominess but it's a helluvahassle to get to that mobo unplugging and re-plugging; but I don't mind, now that the 8500 is alive!=>> It will fit in the case but the 7300's power supply will not mesh with 8500 mobo. The 8500 mobo will slip into a 7200, 7500 or 7600 with no PS problems. Don't know if it is possible to transplant both mobo and PS from 8500 into a 7300 case. I never tried it.
