Subject:Quantum Fireball 1280s Hard Disk problem
I have a Q605, 36 MB Ram, and an Ethernet card and I
want to replace the HD with a new Quantum Fireball 3.5
Series 1.2 gig Model 1280S SCSI Hard Drive I got from
eBay. I can't seem to do it. Does this HD work with a
Q605?
It didn't come with any software or literature but I
was able to find the jumper settings on the web.
I am not sure if I need to have termination enabled or
not. I have an external CD-ROM hooked up. I tried it
both ways but it didnt make any difference.
I don't think that is my problem though. I think the
problem is that (Im guessing) it is formatted HFS+.
When I try to boot from a OS 7.1 Disk Tools disk, I get
the message that it's the wrong System for this
computer. Huh? It works fine with my old HD. When I
insert my OS 8.1 CD, I boot up fine but Drive Setup
will only recognize the CD-ROM.
Running off my CD, I was able to stick a OS 7.1 Disk
tools disk in the floppy drive and run Drive Setup but
still no recognition of the HD. I have tried Drive
Setup 1.7.3, HD SC 7.3.5(with and without the ResEdit
modification for non-Apple Drives). No luck. I was able
to fit ScsiProbe 4.3 on the floppy and that sees the HD
as ID 0, and my CD_ROM as ID 6. Thats what I want to
see so I know I dont have a SCSI conflict. I tried
fitting Lido 7.56 on the floppy but it wont fit. I was
able to put the init in the extensions folder but there
wasnt enough room for pMount. I tried it anyway and it
scanned. It sees my CD_ROM as ID 6 but shows ID 0
empty. I get the message Inquiry and request auxiliary
sense commands failed.
I would like to be able to run TENON Intersystems
Professional Mach Ten 2.3 (so I dont have to partition
the HD; It runs as an application within the Mac OS),
with either full OS 7.1 or preferrably OS 8.1 for its
Internet capability.
Any ideas? TIA.
O.K., Ive been very busy with my other life and
following up on all the leads I got from the pickle,
Raf (Rafael Hinojosa, Dave Deckert, and Mark Benson.
This is how things stand now.
I checked for correct enabler on Disk Tools
I went to Gambas site
http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/ and downloaded
various Sys 7 Superbooters but to no avail. Same
problem I had earlier with my Sys 7.1 disks with update
3.0. I never did get the teach Text file titled Where
have all my files gone? Only OS 8.1 would boot. Could
I have corrupted the Gestalt ID while running HD SC
7.3.5(with the ResEdit modification for non-Apple
Drives)? I didnt know it was possible to alter the
Gestalt ID until I read about Wish I Were on this
board.
I ran TechTool v1.1.7 and it showed Gestalt ID 94 and
nothing out of the ordinary except it didnt show my
hard drive. By now I realized the drive didnt have an
Apple ROM (Im slow but when I bought it on eBAY, the
seller said he had pulled it from a 7200) and that I
would have to get FWB Hard Disk Toolkit as suggested by
Raf. Further research led me to believe v2.0 was what I
could use so I checked eBAY. Lo and Behold, they had
one (4 floppies and 2 manuals) for $7.99 + shipping. I
took a chance and am waiting for it to arrive. Since I
have 3 Q605s with 250MB HDs, it might come in handy.
Which brings me to TENONs MachTen for 68040s.
http://www.tenon.com/. They are running a closeout sale
now for $99.
Now Ill answer Rafs question and talk a little
further about my *nix dilema. I thought about MachTen
because they dropped the price and it comes with 2
manuals. I thought it would be the least headachy way
for me to transition to *nix, as I know squat about it
except what Im able to read about it. I also liked the
idea of the integration with the Mac OS. All of the
drivers for the peripherals would work because they use
the Macs and I can inter operate across files.
One of the Q605s I bought came with NetBSD 1.4.3 and a
stripped Sys 7. I tried to use it but I couldnt find
Vi or text utilities. That seems incomprehensible to me
but probably I dont know what I am doing. It is the
only Apple branded HD I have and I think it is too
small at 250MB. What do I know? Since no disks came
with it, I went to http://www.macunix.net:8000/ and
bought Erics packaged NetBSD 1.4.2. I havent tried it
yet because I wanted a larger HD but I did find out
that support for portrait monitors didnt come until
1.4.3. Bummer because thats what Ive got and I really
dont want any more crt monitors to clutter up the
place. Too much junk and not enough money. Since I
dont know how to download, configure, build etc.
1.4.3, Im on hold with that. Thats the other reason I
wanted to give MachTen
