Better late than never. Finally got it set up, i just installed OS 8.1 because it was easier than 7.6. What happened is that i bought a Macintosh Classic II and a 500gb Apple hard drive 25 pin ect, never used it in the Classic II so i stuck it in the Quadra 650. LOL first time i booted the CD...

I need a boot disk image that has CD drivers so i can test to see if the CD Drive is working. The Macintosh might not even be able to boot from CD at startup, this is why i need a floppy to test.

Okay the new battery i dont even know if it did anything but its fitted. Thanks for all the help guys i appreciate it, but i think im going to give up on this. The only things left i think are to get a new CD drive or try another terminator and SCSI cable with only the terminator at the end.

Battery was not burst, but it was rusted and dead so i took it out; glad i found it so no damage can be done. STILL I HAVE NO IDEA about why it wont boot from CD. My drive ejects but doesn't read discs. Ive tried just the passthrough adapter on one end, tried a brand new cable. Bought a new CPC...

If i make sure the last and first device are terminated could i leave a connector free (no device)? or am i better to buy a 2 device cable for the HDD and CD Drive. I know the first connection is to the mobo and its already terminated.

I'm really annoyed with this, the 50 pin pass through terminator i bought came in the mail today and so i installed it. It does F**K all! Really i have no idea why this thing wont boot from CD now. The HDD not being apple or formatted at the moment should not be a problem for the CD drive to...

Hehe yeah we're known for dull weather. The peroxide doesn't dry out because its not hot, but theres plenty of light recently between the rain lol. Since it doesn't dry out easily i can leave items out longer.

I ended up buying a 50 pin passthrough terminator, it worked out cheaper. Well just got to wait now, I've retrobrite by keyboard and adb mouse so i might do the case next while its not in use. I used creme peroxide to do the "retrobrite".

I've got plenty of PC related stuff like IDE and SATA cables spare, but no SCSI internal 50 pin cables so id have to buy a new one to test. Right i think i'll cost a passthrough terminator. It won't matter if its a 50pin or a 80pin SCA?

Yeah there is plenty of room for a passthrough terminator and the adapter. Look what i found :D http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/iguides/scsi/89507b.pdf So Single Ended means i have to stick a terminator on the last connector meaning i need a new 4 way cable? I'm going to assume whatever...

Can i stick a passthrough terminator right on the SCSI adapter? or do i have to buy a 4 connection cable and stick a terminator on the very end?

The Mac came with a 50 pin cable with 3 connectors, one for the motherboard, 2 for devices; ONLY a CD Drive was connected. I think the stock jumper settings where fine and it wont boot because nothing is terminated. Would i only need to terminate the last device? The CD drive is UNDER the HDD so...

alright i set the cd drive to ID1 and still nothing

http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/manuals/scsi/75789506g.pdf Manual for the HDD, i forgot i had it bookmarked. I've set the jumper to 0.

So this display is junk then? Wish i could get a Sony GDM-FW900, unlikely though. 12" 'zaToppers ?

Even without the HDD, the CD Drive should boot from disc without a hard drive by holding C at boot. Will i be able to get the hard drive formatted without using another Mac? SCSI! i'm glad i use a regular IDE CF adapter in my Amiga 1200. Cheers for the help. EDIT: Yeah the drive never booted...

That my friend is the original CD drive for the Quadra 650, it's back in the computer now but i believe its a 2x speed drive Apple 300 plus if that helps.

Okay so i have this monitor that i use with my Quadra 650 and its 640x480 resolution. http://www.everymac.com/monitors/apple/classic_monitors/specs/apple_mac_color_disp.html I wanted to try running an old PC on it and possibly my Dreamcast via VGA box since 640x480 would be fine for them. I...

I can't get my Quadra 650 to recognise its CD drive or the 80pin drive i added. I managed to get a 7.5 network access disk made on my old windows 98se computer, so it does boot. Not sure if its the 50 pin cable or a termination problem. This is my first Macintosh of any kind, not related but i...
