Hi.
I posted to the list last week about how to install OS9 onto a new HD in my
S900 but I have not received any reply. Would anyone on the list be able to
refresh the procedure for me? I have an UltraTek card in it and a G3 Ziff
upgrade along with 500+ of ram.
Many Thanks.

OK it's been along time since I did this but I think it went like this.
Assuming the new drive is installed.
Insert OS9 install CD
Find Utilities
select the new disk
Format the disk
choose install
choose disk to install to
that should be about it
Additional details which you may or may not need:
Choose a bay in which to install the new disk. You'll need the
right screws to mount it. The standard short screws work in every
bay except the funky lower vertically oriented bay. You need long
screws 1.25"? for that bay. If you put it in one of the 5.25" bays
then you need a 5.25" to 3.5" adapter, which are less than $5 at most
PC shops.
Put the UltraTek card in slots 1 or 2, unless you have nothing or
nothing but USB, Firewire and/or Ethernet cards (no combos) in the
lower slots.
Set the jumper on the new disk to Master (or Single for Western
Digital drives) if it will be the only drive on the cable.
The blue end of the cable goes in the controller card.
You don't have to boot from the CD but you can if you don't have a
bootable hard drive currently installed in the machine.
There are no software drivers to install for the UltraTek card.
