Subject: Compact Flash on a Plus.
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
