Hi,
This post has questions for the compact list and the PCI list, so I'll post
to both. I've been having some drive issues with a IIci and a 7500.
The IIci has a Turbo601, 128mbs ram, 2gb HD.
I'll either get the 4 chime sound and a black screen when I boot up or I get
the flashing question mark. I can boot from an external HD that's running
7.0.1. Could this be a dead drive or could the Turbo601 have died?
The 7500 has a Crescendo 450mhz card, 512mb ram, 1gb quantum fb hd. I tried
to add a 9gb seagate scsi HD as a slave, but could never get it to recognize
the drive in combination with the master 1gb. I did get the machine to boot
with a CD running 8.0 and formated the drive and broke it into 4 partitions.
Now when I boot all I get is the flashing question mark when the original
drive is in by itself. I cannot boot from the CD any more either. I tried 3
other quantum drives and all I get is the flashing question mark. How in the
world can I have 5 dead drives when they were all working?
Thanks for your help.
Thomas
