Ahhh... the vicious cycle... though aparently some markets have more of one, than the 
other.

You are to be commended for keeping atleast one!!! Sorry to see so many of yours were 
lost on loan... although really, what else can be done with an abundance??? 

Would like to think I could keep a-tuit, if one could just be found.

Thanks to all for the information!!! 

For the record: Having 3 wonderfully inquisitive learners (4 if you count the dawg) in 
the house, without a way of locking them out of my work area, I don't leave anything 
soaking for any length of time ;) While I appreciate all suggested remidies, some came 
a bit late... ;)

The Naval Jelly was applied, as directed on the label, with a brush and rinsed off 
after 5-10 minutes... Thankfully the mung and gorp (aka: rust) was only on the outside 
of the connections :)

Happy Holidays to all!!! 

Anybody know where I can pick up a round-tuit???

greatful :)

Picked up a small, yet wonderfully eclectic, lot of SCSI cables (not the ribbon type, 
yet), on a couple of ends I noticed some...hmmm, mung and gorp ~ it's reddish/brown, 
granular in nature... any idea what it might be and what can be done to get rid of it 
(short of tossing the potential;)

SCSI Incarnations

2002-10-22 Thread greatful 
First, can anyone point the direction of info regarding subject??? Would like to 
read/see the difference of SCSI through the years ~ it might help me to better 
understand the difference between 1, 2, Narrow, Wide, Fast, etc. 

Second, have purchased 3 different external HDD cases, all different (noted below) ~ 
is there a general rule that determines which port is 'in' and which is 'out' when 
considering chaining (does it matter)?

1) Two vertically parallel centronics ports, one marked 'SCSI 1' the other 'SCSI 2' 
(no ID selection switch/button)... 

2) Two vertically parallel contronics ports, no other distinguishing features (ID 
switch/button just below left port)...

3) Two horizontally parallel centronics ports, no other distinguishing features (ID 
switch/button equal distance between them although slightly right).

Third, will 800K floppies play nicely in a 1.44Mb drive??? Still confused after 
reading the FAQ, LEM and others :(

Thanks in advance for any information provided.

greatful

Re: Startup HD Reluctant...

2002-09-10 Thread greatful 

Thanks Cat999 & Craig ~ 

 Sure hope it's not dying. "R&R" actually means Remove and Replace (blame it on my 
mechanic;) ~ 'tis a new battery. The Q650 is always plugged in. Saw 'pass through 
termination' mentioned on pickle's FAQ ~ got one, didn't help. Moved the external HD 
higher on the chain (was last, now first), didn't help. And not just any ol Restart 
will do either ~ it must be a 'C' key Restart... Really hope to solve this issue as 
there's a GB HD just waiting to be initialized...

Startup HD reluctant...

2002-09-08 Thread greatful 

After R&R of PRAM battery and adding 40Mb external HD to the SCSI chain...

Q650, OS 7.1; all internal cables checked; SCSI ID's on all external devices have been 
checked (CDRom = ID 3; Ext. HD = ID 2; Zip 100 = ID 5); pulled the PRAM battery out 
and turned it around thinking it may have been installed backwards (wasn't turned 
around again). Mt. Everything 'Can not be used on this mac'; SCSI Probe 'Requires 
newer Apple SCSI Manager (4.3 recommended)'.

OS 7.5 Finder and System Folder (w/Startup and Memory CP's) installed on External. 
Both Startup CP's have Q650 set to Start up. Q650 boots from Restart only. 

Why the reluctance???

Did external HD wipe out internal???

2002-08-01 Thread greatful 

You may recognize the subject from the MacWorld Forums...

After R&R on a PRAM battery*... Hooked up a 40Mb external SCSI drive, just to see what 
it had on it, to a Quadra 650 that already had 2 (zip, CDRom) externals on the chain, 
Quadra wouldn't boot (disk w/?). 

Disconnected all peripherals and it booted fine. Hooked up each device individually, 
no problem booting with the zip; no problem booting with the CDRom; got the disk/? on 
boot with the HDD. Now, without any peripherals there's a disk/? on boot. Reset the 
PRAM, can boot from OS CD using external Rom; install is attempted booting with an 
'Install me first' floppy. Problem is the internal HD is nowhere to be found ~ Disk 
First Aid and SCSI Set Up can't find the internal HD either... 

The only thing moved was the ram, to get to the battery. When the top of the battery 
cage (pain in the arse) was removed the whole board moved ~ not much though (maybe I 
heard it squeek).

The brick (third device) has a push button SCSI ID selector. The terminator (removed 
from the CD) was good. After the first failure I switched to a known good cable. 
Planed on using the external brick (w/pwr supply(s), & fan*) to R&R the 40Mb for 
1Gb... figured the 40 was old (potentially dead) ~ didn't anticipate it taking out the 
Quadra's 500Mb internal...

Can anyone offer ideas of what can be done??? Didn't find anything in the FAQ or 
jagshouse, then again, I'm not sure what I'm looking for...

greatful

*Would it have booted after changing the battery if the battery had been installed 
incorrectly??? If memory serves, it did boot after changing the battery before any 
external devices were added.

Re: Mac Addiction

2002-07-28 Thread greatful 

 First, I'd like to know more of the similarities and/or differences in the 
definition(s) of addiction; compulsion; obsession; and passion, before I can wrap my 
rationalizations around one ;)

 Hadn't touched a computer (word processors don't count, do they?) before one of my 
children received an adapated PowerBook/tablet* used to augment communication. The 
seven year fight with eduction to provide the assessment ended 3 years ago. Now we 
have two Quadras, a 650 and 660AV, both needed repairs and/or lots of peripherals. 
Working on getting them networked** and then will add an adapted keyboard (or two), 
access switch(es) [IR and button] so that other kids don't have to wait 7 years***... 

 We've recently completed a trial on the new iBook version of the tablet, anticipate 
owning one soon. 

* 11" flat panelish touch screen housed over a 5300 w/o a keyboard (newer version is a 
14" touch screen)

** with (loath to mention on the QuadList) a PM7100/66av, a PC from the Quadra era, 
and a recently added PC tower, all needing repairs and/or peripherals)

*** students graduating H.S. this year have had the right, by law, to education 
programs and services using assistive technologies... few have had access

Re: Installing a 2nd HDD

2002-06-13 Thread greatful 

Thank you, Dean, for your help. 

This particular Q650 came to me without ever having a CD-Rom (just recently added an 
AppleCD 300).  The AppleSpec says it has internal CD-Rom support so I'm assuming that 
would be a shelf/drawer/space as well as SCSI/power connectors.  It's an (older) 
Apple/IBM HDD ~ thank goodness the specs are available on-line.  

Sounds like Christian @ sur-tech is your go-to-guy :) Ample RAM is always an issue, 
huh (sure doesn't come up often at eBay)?!  We've been finding parts at a local store 
that is in the refurbishing (rehabilitation) business ~ noone there knows Mac, and Mac 
parts are few and far between (Surprise - NOT!). The biggest RAM module I can get 
there is 4MB, LOL

For my own benefit, I would like to know more about the functions of JP4 (Disabale 
Auto Spin-up), JP5 (Disable Unit Attention) and JP7 (Disabale TI Negotiation) ~ the 
lables are offering no clues ;). Maybe IBM has a 'Glossary of Terms' somewhere in 
their support pages, hm.

Re: Installing a 2nd HDD

2002-06-13 Thread greatful 

 Thank you, Daniel, for the information!  While I've added RAM, R&R'd a CD-Rom and a 
PRAM battery ~ this is a new challenge.  Will ask at LEM (or get back to you) re: the 
bracket.  This HDD came from eBay, the seller said it was set up for SCSI 0 (checked, 
reformated and tested/w OS 8.5, hence the dual-boot question ~ the highest I could 
re-install is 7.5.5).  From what I understand, the Q650 can't boot from HFS+.  Will 
the 2nd HDD show up like a CD or floppy drive?  Until I get the bracket there are two 
things to ponder... 1) leave the termination on and connect the external zip to 
another system (660av/2G/53M [3 partitions] ~ 7100-66av/.5G/48M); or, 2) never be able 
to move the zip again without pulling the HDD (LOL). As soon as I hit 'send' I 
realized I'd mucked up the "JP1-ID2" 

 Somehow this network must be able to include a scanner and printer (I'm not ready yet 
for Linux/NetBSD). My biggest problem with searching is using too many words ;)

 You have coffee???!!!

Installing a 2nd HDD

2002-06-12 Thread greatful 

Have an Apple/IBM ST325509 (need to find mounting brackets) that I would like to 
install as a 2nd HDD (Q650).  This is all new territory and I don't want to muck 
anything up.  The Apple KBase article which references this procedure is of no help 
because the jpeg doesn't load (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=36122) ~ 
IBM's site is a bit more helpful, at least the picture shows up 
(http://www.storage.ibm.com/hdd/support/dpes/dpesjum.htm).

Currently there are three (assuming) 'jumpers' across (the little posts) JP7, JP6 and 
JP5. Is it as easy as removing the jumper from JP6 (because this will be the second 
device [the third is an external zip]) and placing it on JP2 (to set the ID to 1)? Is 
there somewhere that would help me understand the intended purpose(s) of JP4, JP5, JP6 
and JP7?

What kind of questions should I be asking about dual-booting? 

Thanks in advance :)

Thank you David for pointing me in the right direction, you'll see by my response

My question is, then, are the pickle and the list-mom one-in-the-same??? LOL 

Most* have shat on the other newbie (or the pickle), for asking (answering) a question 
(albiet, both, with sarasim) and not a one of you (other than the pickle) have said 
squat to my original message. It's just like home

Seriously tho pickle it's a bit pompous to presume you know everything and no-one will

know a lot and can be useful at times, especially if I need a quick answer. 

David, try to be a little more understanding, there are a lot of very diverse 
personalities on this list, pickle is just a bit 'to the point' that's all :).

New to the list

2002-06-09 Thread greatful 

It's nice to be aboard!!!  

To introduce our systems:

Quadra 650, 230Mb HDD, 24Mb RAM, internal 3.5" floppy, OS 7.1 ~ this was our first 
desk top system, used mainly for programming/creating Augmentative Communication and 
education modifications.  It recently received an external 300 CD-Rom and will soon be 
receiving a second 1Gb HDD.  Anybody know of any good Apple/IBM spec jpegs to help 
reset the SCSI ID???

Quadra 660av, ?HDD, ?RAM, internal 3.5" floppy and CD-Rom ~ no video on boot.  It was 
originally SCSI'd through an external Zip to the above system enabling use of the 
CD-Rom ;).  Recently zapped the PRAM and got the video back long enough to install OS 
7.5.  Hope to provide more information after replacing the PRAM battery. 

Suppose it may be wrong to bring up the PwrMac 7100/66av, PowerBook 5300* or an 
original iBook* that will be included or the recently attained AAUI to RJ45 adapters 
in hopes of a network.  

Hope you have a wonderful day!!!
greatful

P.S. The only system we have to surf with, at this time, is a Digital Venturis 575 
(more information will be provided if requested, LOL)

*Adapted with dynamic touch screen ~ used for Augmentative Communication.
