Hey everyone,
Now that I've gotten my 9600/200 connected to my network and the
internet, I've downloaded XPostFacto in hopes of installing
Jaguar on
this machine. I'd like to ditch the stock 4gb SCSI drive in
favor of an
8gb ATA drive I have laying around, so I'm wondering if anyone
has any
knowledge of compatibility issues or has had success with ATA
cards and
XPostFacto. I searched the XPostFacto site and found nothing
thus far.
Basically as long as the ATA card is recognized in OS 9, it will
work with XPF/OSX. The only issue is that the OS X partition
will have to be the 1st one and at most 8GB in size. A good
list for these type of questions is the Unsupported OS X list
<http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html>.
I ran OS X 10.3.9 on my 9600/350 G3-500 on a paritioned 70 GB
drive, with 3 equal paritions, and had no problems- used the
original 4 GB drive as a back-up OS X boot drive.
As far as I've always heard the 8Gb limitation applies ONLY to the
built in IDE controller on the machines in question.
And there isn't one on a 9600- its all SCSI built in..... any ATA/
IDE card acts like SCSI when added to these machines, too, so I am told.
