Hello listers,
I'm trying to revive a Q840 and have the "pointer freezes during boot" SCSI problem whenever a hard drive is connected. However, I can boot from CD fine when only the CD (ID 3) and Zip (ID 5) drives are connected. I've tried at least 4 different hard drives so far (Maxtors and Seagates, 1-2GB, at least two of them from Apple). I've tried them set to ID 0 and 1, terminated and not terminated, and on both of the open positions at the end of the ribbon. What else can I check? There is enough space in the bottom drive bay to fit two 1/3-height drives, but at this point I'd be happy to just get one working! The Q840 has 68MB IIRC and two Nubus cards installed, but neither is a SCSI card.
