What drive can I upgrade a 3400c with?

2006-02-18 Thread Tom W.
Just wondering if the 3400c, and 1400c for that matter, will take the
same size hard drives out of the lombards and pismos?
Thanks
Tom

3400c for sure.  Other way around can be a problem as the 3400 can 
take a thicker drive.  I don't know about the 1400c.  The 5300 (which 
is older) has different mounting hole patterns.  You can still do it 
in a 5300, you just need to drill new holes.  So it depends on 
whether the 1400s hole pattern is new or old.  Worse case is you'd 
need to drill new holes.

I put a new 5400 rpm 40 gig IDE in mine, no problem. Much quieter too.

Locked scsi disk.

2006-02-18 Thread Michel
As everybody might know , one of the biggest problems with older
Powerbooks is a good working scsi harddisk. I have a a 500 mb scsi disk
(in a 540c)that cannot be initialized. Disk utilities(tried 7.6 and 8.1
floppy as norton utilities aswell)sees it but fails to do so.The disk is
locked. Is there any way to unlock the disk and initialize it?
The only software I found was empro, but I do not know if this will work.
any other ideas??.
Michel

You need a formatting utility other than Apple's. I've used LaCie's 
SilverLining for years, but I'm not sure of the current OS requirements. 
You can download the current version here:
http://www.lacie.com/download/drivers/LaCieUpdater_654.sit

It's described as an updater, but I think it's just an installer.

Also, you try ATTO's tool, ExpressPro-Tools, again, the OS requirements 
may be too high for your situation:
http://www.attotech.com/software/app1.html#macos9

You need to register (free) to login and DL.

You'll need to move the drive to a SCSI-Manager 4.3 compliant desktop Mac 
to use either of the above tools IIRC.

OW, I'm not sure what other freely DL-able formatting utils are out there.
