I recently was gifted a perfectly working PowerBook 165. What a wonderful gift! But I'm not familiar with PB's at all.
So I'm working on getting it upgraded with some more RAM and a replacing the HDD with a BlueSCSI or RaSCSI. I had lots of trouble today getting the RaSCSI working. I think a lot of it was SCSI termination problems. (My RaSCSI is external.)
The PB is running stock (and I think original) System 7.1. It has a Control Panel called PowerBook, which seems to let you change the sleep time for the display and the SCSI ID of ... something. I say something because I couldn't figure out what it was changing. The choices range from ID 1 thru 6, so I assume it's talking about the hard drive. But I changed it a few times and couldn't find any difference. According to SCSI Probe 4.3, the HDD never moved from ID1, no matter what I set in the Control Panel.
So what is this Control Panel for? How does it work? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Tom
