Hi, I need help with the following:Hi:
I started the computer from a floppy. It didn't see the internal HD. I tried several times. It acknowledged the presence of another "large volume connected" by presenting me a message that said I needed a 68040 or PowerPC processor in order to mount a volume larger than 4G, even though the HD's capacity is 2G only. Any ideas?
Thank You hmauro
I am wondering whether the 520 Meg hard drive which you removed from the external case and put into the IIsi is now no longer properly terminated....
Thank you, Jim.
I tested with a terminator that attaches directly to the IIsi SCSI port. The internal HD (520M) still didn't show, but the Mac thought there was a large volume connected anyway, because it showed the same messge about detecting a volume larger than 4G that needed a 68040 or PowerPC processor to handle. The message didn't appear after removing the terminator. The IIsi has 17M RAM and I am starting it with a System 6.0.7 startup floppy.
I am puzzled by this: if I started with a 6.0.7, startup disk, where did the information about PowerPC came from, since there was no PowerPC then? Where are these messages stored?
