Hello: A friend's IIci (running OS 7.1) freezes whenever either a SCSI external hard drive or zip drive is connected. If I recall correctly, this occurs even when the SCSI device is off--merely connecting the cable seems to have a bad influence. Both of the SCSI devices work fine with a beige G3 running OS 8.6.
I'm not well versed in the voodoo which is SCSI. The external hard drive has a selector for setting the device number (how do I find the SCSI number of the IIci itself?) but the zip drive doesn't. The ultimate aim is to clone the possibly failing internal hard drive's contents. The IIci has a 200MB hard drive so copying to floppies is impractical. Is it feasible to swap the IIci's hard drive into the external case and then copy it onto the beige G3? What type of connector & pin number does the IIci hard drive have? Thank you for any help. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
