--preamble-- This was posted on the [supermacs] list, but didn't receive many responses. I am posting it here in the hopes that it will get more of a response, as it is fairly Mac OS X specific. --preamble--
Greetings, I currently have a J700 with the following configuration: Sonnet G3/400 CPU 2x SCSI hard drives (one drive with Mac OS 9, the other with Mac OS X) 1x SCSI CD-ROM 4x 128 meg FPM DIMMs 1x ATI Rage Orion PCI video card Thanks to a helpful list member, I will soon have an S900 case/motherboard. I plan on taking all of the components listed above from my J700 and transferring them into the S900, in order to use it as a base for more versatile future expansion. I would also like to perform a few other upgrades while I'm doing this, and I wanted to get your input as to how well this plan might work: 1) Add three more PCI cards: -- 2-port Belkin USB card -- 3-port MacAlly Firewire card -- ACARD ATA/66 IDE card 2) Add a big honkin' IDE hard drive and connect it to the ACARD I am currently running Jaguar on the J700 with no problems, but what I would like to do is reformat and reinstall everything so that Jaguar lives on the new IDE drive, and OS 9 lives on the two SCSI hard drives. Any sense as to whether this new configuration might present problems? Suggestions on what slots to put the new cards in? Etc? Thanks! Peter -- Peter R.
