Ken, Clarke The drive is SCSI, a 6G Quantum Fireball under the LaCie label and the jumper settings for SCSI ident do work as advertised. I say it that way because when I put it in the external chain as 0 it confuses with the internal HD as expected and when it is some other ID it is seen OK.
This is really perplexing because when I format with the hacked Apple drive setup or Lido it seems to do the process just fine but then when it comes time to install the system the installer (floppy 1) fails & tells you " Installer cannot copy the file "system" onto the volume, installation cannot continue. Delete file & start again." I have been through this with both Lido & the hacked Apple utility. Any ideas on how to get around this one? Many thanks Dave Ken wrote: > My Reply follows quote.
