I know this topic has been covered (from what I can see, possibly unsuccessfully) in the past, however I am attempting this holy grail of modifications for storage and noise reasons, and because my 20mb Qisk is on it it's last legs.
I have obtained over the last couple of months an new SCSI drive enclosure, a SCSI to IDE converter, an IDE to CF adaptor and a 1GB CF Card. I put this lot together, plugged it in to my Plus (well you gotta try :-) booted from floppy and tried to run drive set up. No dice, No supported SCSI device detected. So I plugged it into my G3 266 PowerMac and ran Disk Set up on that, and it reported the CF Card, but said unsupported drive cannot be initialised. I then swapped the CF card out into a USB attachment thingy and plugged it into my 2006 MacPro running S/L, That could see the card and allowed my to format it as Mac OS Extended (journaled). I then put the card back in the SCSI enclosure and went back to my G3 and started that under Jaguar, It couldn't see the disk, I swapped it back to the USB thingy and it the could see the drive I reformatted it as HFS with OS9 drivers. I put it all back together in the SCSI enclosure and then rebooted the G3 in 9.2.1, and the G3 could see the drive on the desktop and would allow me to copy files to and from the drive and even install System 6 on it, however in disk set up, it still said unsupported drive cannot be initialised, even though at this point under 9.2.1 it was working perfectly. I then plugged it back into the Plus, but as you can guess I still got the No SCSI supported device present message. Has anyone managed to get CF working on a Plus or any old world Mac for that matter? Many Thanks Charles -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
