That was my first thought to do. But, I was wondering if a direct install into a working old world tower would still be the preferred method. Then I also have a sata card with an ssd. I was wondering if going that far would cause complications vs staying on the scsi chain.

It was 3 box trucks. I feel like the dog who caught the tire.

Lets say I have access to almost any platform/peripheral and a bluescsi v2. SCSI ones are the challenge really. What would be the optimal setup to have the best success? I was thinking an early or mid PPC tower. But I do have an old world g3 as well, scsi cards, and drive enclosures. How...

There was a stack for the sonnet g4s. I'm sure there are more. I didn't have the time to grab all the empty boxes. But I know my duty to the archive.

Thank you for the advice. I just did my second 24 hour day moving. I found the box with all the old processors neatly packed prior to upgrading. Their IT guy took pride in his work. I filled a 16 foot box truck full of powermacs and quadras I wrapped in carpet. I opened up one umax clone...

Yeah going through the first load now. How does one sell that many? VCF?

No IIfx so far. But the IT guy back then probably had his own daystar and sonnet reps. He upgraded... Everything. I never thought I would say this but Im in way over my head. I'll spend the next few weeks inventorying. I did not mean to buy a newspaper but it kinda happened and I need to...

I bought "everything with a cord or goes in something with a cord" from a closed down newspaper. There is way more...Mac iis, quadras, powermacs all the way to intel imacs. They upgraded everything along the way. Its kinda overwhelming. I have to rent more vans. I think i hit the mother...

I have an extra 333 lombard cpu. Do you have anything to trade. I am looking for PCI cards, cs2 card, usb hub, just something cheap that I could use.

Yes its just a 2 second daugter card replacement. I did the exact same thing. But yes I need a dvd decoder for that to work. Does dvd roms just fine though.

Along with the 5400 I got an almost brand new in box color stylewriter 4500 with 3 replacement ink cartriges!!! The LC I got off of Craigslist has a dead hard drive. But I have a 500mb one with 6.08 on it lying around, and I also have the Ethernet card for it from another haul! It also came...

the 630 was the very first ide controller in a mac. It has limitations. Perhaps the poster above had a drive that downgraded itself to work at that speed. It is a good idea to try older hard drives in this process. I don't know about OS 8 but OS 7 does limit me to 2 gb per partition perhaps...

The fastest HD you can use on these machines is a PIO 3 standard, which is early ATA-2 drives. On the drive itself it should not list a speed higher than 11.1 mbps. or a cycle time of less than 180 NS. This should be located on the sticker on the drive...
