When I decided to try one of these out, no one told me that I would have to read beyond the first four or five words in the product description. This stuff is just beyond me, I suppose

I lack the tools, and also the know-how at present. I did actually get a crash course on this from the electrician at one of my first jobs. He also taught me to make network patch cables... and he taught me wrong, as I later learned, haha Is that so?

Final update and resolution-- I gave up and figured perhaps the hardware was defective, so I contacted MacEffects for a replacement. They responded with this: "We recently discovered that some people with earlier SE machines the 33mhz variant (same actual clock speed) are giving the same...

More odd behavior: I was able to boot to the desktop of 6.0.8 again, but the mouse cursor doesn't move. I can click (the cursor was over the trash and I can double click to open it), and the keyboard works, but the pointer remains stationary. I can move it freely on the pre-happy mac blank...

I decided to purchase a MacEffects Performer PDS 68030, the 33MHz version specifically, for my SE. Unfortunately, I am having a lot of trouble with it. My SE has 6.0.8 installed on the internal SCSI HDD, and I have a 7.1 disk image on an external BlueSCSI. Before installing the hardware, I...

Ah. I'm using the cable that came with it when I bought it (used, not new). It sure looks like a regular IDE cable. I did not know that Ultra-ATA cables were a thing. I see about acquiring one of those now that I know they exist

OK, so I was right the first time: My Ultra ATA connector is the one that causes problems when there is a disk attached to it. I/O errors, errors when formatting from disk utility, etc

Wait, huge development: I am possibly just an idiot Which bus is the boot drive intended to be attached to? The one one near the Airport card, or the one near the PCI slots? When I bought this thing, there was drive mounted to the bottom of the case on a plate and attached to the bus near the...

I have a strange issue with a Quicksilver G4, and I am wondering if any of you guys might have some insight. I can only boot from an HDD when it is attached to the ATA bus that is usually used for the optical drive. When a drive is plugged into the other bus (the one near where the HDD is...
