Hello all.
For quite some time now I have been trying to get my IIci running off an SSD,
but to no avail. The first attempt involved a 128 MB Quantum Rushmore drive
and while the drive was recognized and did work, it only worked for a short
time (minutes not hours or days). It seems that ther

Personally, I would just try it with an IDE Compactflash adapter and
card...pretty cheap and you can get cards of just a few Gb (or less).
Does anyone have source for cheap SCSI to IDE adapters? I'd love to play
around with the same (probably on an LCII)...but can't find an adapter with
a price t

I've acquired my cards over time. The only card that I spent
significant money on are my 2.5" SCSI-IDE and 2.5" SCSI-CF adap

Why not just use a regular SCSI drive? I haven't looked recently, but I expect
there are tons of them on eBay and at your loca

Artmix.com (Japanese site) sells both a 2.5" and 3.5" to SCSI to CF adapter.
A little expensive @ $99, but I'm so tired if messing around with unreliable
old SCSI drives. I bought a couple and should have them soon. I'll post a
review if anyone is interested.

My iici boots off an 8gig Lexar CF card. I used a nubus jackhammer
card with an acard scsi -> IDE adapter and cf adapter. The acard
adapter doesn't seem to like UDMA cf cards though

A... Yes... If you "bypass" the internal SCSI everything works fine. The
problem I have had is using the internal SCSI bus. I really did not want to
use a NuBus card for a SCSI card. I am wondering if I should try to use a
different Rushmore drive... Perhaps there was just a funky issu

Really?!?! I ha
The reason for the speed difference has more to do with the 2 scsi-IDE
adapters I have. The acard is ultra-wide 68 pin (hence the need for
the jackhammer), while the mystery brand adapter is...SCSI 1. The
iici's onboard scsi may be faster than the jackhammer, but my 50 pin

A... That is reasonable. I (finally) was able to get some numbers for the
IIfx...
Using MacBench 2:
Stock IIfx set to 100%
DayStar NuBus RAMDrive : 436%
Quantum Rushmore (built-in SCSI) : 335%
Quantum Rushmore (JackHammer 16bit) : 279%

One way to improve performance on the built in SCSI is with software RAID 0
striping. FWB Hard Disk Toolkit could do it. Apple had their own software RAID
but I think it was PPC only. It works best when all the drives are identical.
One slow drive can drag the whole array down to its speed. I wa
If memory serves, RAID-0 offers improved performance only on a PPC, not a
68K... I believe it deals with the CPU performance hit associated with
splitting / merging the data. The 68K machines are really limited in their
ability to move data. The more CPU power, the faster you can move the dat

This is how to post a readable message.

Josh, I'm with you. Having used "email" since 2BM (Before Macs) I've

I've never found a reliable regular location for SCSI-IDE adapters. I
just generally keep a search going on eBay, and skim any good deals.

Let's be clear...
There is no LEM netiquette rule requiring (or even suggesting) bottom posting.
There have been numerous discussions on the subject the result of which is that
it is up to the individual to decide which method to use. As one who even did
a little messaging from Argonne (East)
Incidentally, some other mac mailing lists that *do* have strict netiquette
requirements are lists that me and a number of other people have stopped
posting on, because it's far too much of a hassle to get harassed for every
single posting (I think the iMac list even refuses to send your messages).
Sorry, new to the group, joined to solve a very specific problem. No idea
if any of what Todd and Derek are saying is addressed to me. If so, I don't
understand it and wouldn't know bottom-posting from top-fermenting. If not,
sorry again.

In the many years I've been read or replying to this group's e-mails, this's
the first time anybody has made a stink like this. While I understand the
