Drive problems
Hi, This post has questions for the compact list and the PCI list, so I'll post to both. I've been having some drive issues with a IIci and a 7500. The IIci has a Turbo601, 128mbs ram, 2gb HD. I'll either get the 4 chime sound and a black screen when I boot up or I get the flashing question mark. I can boot from an external HD that's running 7.0.1. Could this be a dead drive or could the Turbo601 have died? The 7500 has a Crescendo 450mhz card, 512mb ram, 1gb quantum fb hd. I tried to add a 9gb seagate scsi HD as a slave, but could never get it to recognize the drive in combination with the master 1gb. I did get the machine to boot with a CD running 8.0 and formated the drive and broke it into 4 partitions. Now when I boot all I get is the flashing question mark when the original drive is in by itself. I cannot boot from the CD any more either. I tried 3 other quantum drives and all I get is the flashing question mark. How in the world can I have 5 dead drives when they were all working? Thanks for your help.

The Turbo 601 requires a minimum of a FAT install of System 7.5* with the Turbo 601 Enabler in the System folder. IIRC, if you update to 7.5.5 you can remove the enabler. I know 7.6 does not require it on the hard drive, but still does on a PPC boot floppy. 8.1 does not require the 601 enabler at all, but you need one of the hacks to allow it to boot with the Turbo 601 disabled. *The Turbo 601 originally came with a free copy of 7.5 on floppy disks to ensure the user had the minimum required System software.
