    Solid State Drive for G3?

    I think I misunderstood something you asked.  The SD card I purchased for the G3 is is 512 GB Extreme Pro.  The storage the G3 had was on the IDE bus, and was a 128 GB drive.  It's full, and from what I have been reading, I can't replace it with a bigger one.  I wanted to put everything on the...

    I need help with setting up SCSI2SD in my Mac Color Classic

    FWIW, I ALWAYS got the arbitration failure message until I left the cover off of my IIsi and plugged the installed SCSI2SD Board into my IMac with the USB Cable.  The Molex connector had to be in and hooked up, the USB cable had to be hooked up.  Once I discovered that quirk, Lido lit up like a...

    Regressing to an earlier OS?

    I don't know what this means Um, I don't even fully understand running a Mac OS Server, Linux is waaaaayyyy over my head. I think that would be a fairly accurate Assessment from what little I know about servers.  We never used a server until we were using OS X in the office, and needed to...

    Regressing to an earlier OS?

    Everything older than the G3s are on a good old fashioned Appletalk daisy chain.  There is an outlet for the Apple talk network in our switch room and that has a Farallon Appletalk to Ehternet bridge plugged into it.  The other end of the bridge is plugged into the ethernet switch.  The G3scan...

    Regressing to an earlier OS?

    Hi Gorgonops We have an ethernet network with an Appletalk bridge on it.  The machine operators drag the files they need onto their IIsi via Appletalk.  We replaced the Sneakernet decades ago because our environment is so full of oil, dirt, and grit we couldn't keep the floppy drives clean and...

    Solid State Drive for G3?

    Hi Cory, the Cards I bought for the G3s are "Extreme Pro."  The problem with storage is definitely not enough space and I need to keep any changes as unnoticeable as possible.

    Regressing to an earlier OS?

    As I said, it's been a long time since we went through all of this, so my memory is fuzzy.  The programming process results in four files total.  We start with a "single layout" then Add multiple "single layouts" to a multiple layout.  The designations for these two files are part.sl ad...

    Regressing to an earlier OS?

    It has been quite a few years, so I hope I am remembering correctly.  The layout program makes a pair of files that are necessary for the machinery to punch a layout.  It makes them automatically with a command from one of the menus.  I think one of them is basically an ASCII tape.   When we...

    Regressing to an earlier OS?

    Interesting possibilities there.  On a side note, we had all of our IIsi and IIci units re-capped, and the ones that are the "brains" of our metal fabrication machines have been fitted with SCS2SD boards.  The operators are singing the praises of the SCSI2SD cards because everything loads...

    Regressing to an earlier OS?

    Thank you!  We have a Yikes! G4 that is running OS 8.6 and the user doesn't seem to have any problems with it.  All he needs it to do is run our layout program and connect to the Appletalk Network.  I love everymac.com, I use them a lot.

    Regressing to an earlier OS?

    I am completely ignorant of what you mean by "Uni-North."  We are a bit on the unique side in the Mac user industry because we use our Macs for metal fabrication.  Our options are extremely limited and support is non-existent.  OS 8.6 is the latest OS I can use, because OS 9 changed something in...

    Solid State Drive for G3?

    Whoops, Fizzbin did say that, didn't he?  I was so focused on what he said about the card that those words didn't stick in my brain.  My bad.

    Regressing to an earlier OS?

    I wish I could upgrade to 9.1, but the one "must have" program I need to run on these machines doesn't function correctly in OS 9.

    Solid State Drive for G3?

    I found this one as well, and the seller says it is supported by OS 8 as well, which is perfect for my needs.  I am glad you posted to tell me your experience is positive, and that I will probably need a longer cable.  Is your G3 a beige model, or a B&W?

    Regressing to an earlier OS?

    I am looking at some B&W G3s as possible replacements for some of our beige G3 units.  Everything I have been finding is updated to OS 9.2 and/or OS X.  I have a vague memory of updating a machine (don't remember which series) to OS 9 and getting a warning message that if I did so, firmware...

    Solid State Drive for G3?

    Any idea where I can find one of these?  I can't get the SSD to work in the G3 with the PATA to SATA adapter that came with it.   I was having some success with a SCSI2SD adapter, but started to have problems with files hanging when we try to open them.  We are having storage issues that I was...

    SCSI2SD Issues

    This is exactly what I had to do to get these to get to a point where I could install the OS onto the SD cards I bought for my IIsi's.  I needed a bootable System 6.08 disk, LIDO, and the case on the IIsi open with the USB cable attached to the SCSI2SD board and the IIsi powered by its...

    Solid State Drive for G3?

    Yah, I have a Yikes! that's on my rehab list.  Can't go any bigger on the IDE drive, so I suspect I will be putting a SCSI2SD board into that one as well.

    SCSI2SD on a G3

    Update: I found the problem.  Who would have thought a missing space would cause so much trouble?  I swear I double checked the count of spaces before "ST225N" but when I went in to re-configure, there were only 9 instead of the required 10.  Apparently, Apple's blessing was still a requirement...
