Thanks again for advice. Yes, it is a WD drive... I'll try the old 4GB next... No, I did not zap PRAM again - I had one that prior to installing a fresh OS9.2 and Panther... I'll post an update on pragress as soon as time allows - probably during the weekend. I have tinkered with several old...

Is there a difference between the beige Tower and DT G3 power supply pin outs? I recently got for free non-functioning a beige G3 tower with a 333MHz processor, plenty of RAM, and a SCSI-3 hard disk connected via an ATTO SCSI card. I got it to start up fine on an old external SCSI HD with OS9 I...
