    I’ve spent this evening disabling system 9, and installing 7.5.(1?) it all appeared to work perfectly, so I installed the Newer Technology driver. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but when it suggested I should Restart, it then couldn’t start. It got stuck immediately after the Newer...

    But I have an Acard AEC 7732 on my shelf, only just out of arms reach. And the 68pin to 50pin SCSI adaptor is on the same shelf.

    Thanks, I'll do that, this weekend if not before. I have an Acard AEC 7732 68pin SCSI to SATA, plus a 68pin SCSI to 50pin SCSI adaptor. Plus 2 Samsung 256gb (850EVO) SSDs.

    Well, I've drawn a blank, how do I disable (but not delete) the Mac OS 9 System folder to instal 7.1.2 on the same disk alongside it? Can I get get a 256GB SSD to be a bootable 'disc' for the 6100? Does it need to spoof an Apple HDD? The Software I have, is the Software I have - ATM. I did...

    Purely for the sake of completeness... 42MHz x 16 = 672MHz 43MHz x 16 = 688MHz 45MHz x 16 = 720MHz 48MHz x 16 = 768MHz 50MHz x 16 = 800MHz

    And now CD's don't appear on screen. Norton utilities can see the drive, but that seams to be it as of last night, and Disc doctor stalled at apparently the same place twice, and after 45 minutes + I abandoned the scan each time.

    Sled could probably be modified, but it’s a nasty thing to do if it’s a good condition… (plus there’s nothing that would need dremmeling off on the inside of the case)

    It sits forward by 14.5mm or 0.57 inches. Here is a trial fit with drive and 4mb card fitted…

    So, just noticed something (actually in my spare parts 6100/66… We all know that a standard hard drive fouls the vram sticks on HVP cards (where fitted) But, if the metal shield in the front of the case is removed, the drive can be slid forward a little… And the case still closes.

    Well, I can’t see anything that looks like a Newer Technology or MAXPowr extension.
