When I was trying to upgrade the SCSI paths to 68 pin cables from an Adaptec 2940 card over to a pair of 9 gig drives. I was also putting in a G4/450 cpu (which screamed), but in the process, and only discovered after several re-boots, I found a bent pin in one of the connectors at the #2 drive. Performance had degraded over the restarts till now all I get is the gray screen "SCSI voodoo" response. Went to the #2 backup machine (8500/180 left stock), plugged in the drives, being very careful not to bend any pins (this time using 68-50 converters), and got he same response. In both machines I resorted to the original drives with the original connector, same response. I did use the 68-50 adapters to hook the 9 gig drives back up to the internal SCSI on the PTP after the initial gray screen with no change. Did I kill the drives, the SCSI connections (Mobo) and the card? I'm now on the #3 backup, a blazing PowerCenter 132 that I was thankfully smart enough to not do anything to, except to upgrade to 8.1 so that I could use this version of Eudora. Sorry if this is a bit jumbled, and all responses, here or private are welcome.
Thanks, Greg PS. What is the rule on utilizing the cuda (4 seconds, no more) button? Only when changing the processor, or with any hardware change? -- What? -- Power Computing is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Power Computing list info: <http://lowendmac.com/power/list.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/powercomputing%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
