A while ago I picked up a Lacie S2S 5 drive RAID array. It was originally meant to connect to a Lacie eSATA card but worked well with a USB 3.0 adapter. Unfortunately 2.5tb was way too small to be useful. At the time I had some 1tb drives and upgraded to 5tb, still a little small. Just yesterday...

Actually, in an enclosed windowless space your light bulb is 100% efficient as a heater. All the light that's absorbed by the walls also becomes heat. Almost everything that uses electricity eventually turns it into heat

Check that it also has an Apple Partition Map. You can have Mac OS extended format on a disk with Master Boot Record or GUID partition map. I did that a couple of times and was able to install an OS but ran into issues at boot time

There's probably a jumper for cable select/master/slave. If so, try setting it to Master

There's 16 possible multiplier jumpers settings and your chart only shows 11 of those settings. Shouldn't take long to find out what the other 5 do

Those don't look Mac cards to me and usually a Mac won't boot off am PC card.

Just a shot in the dark. Does either the powerbook or syquest supply term power?

I bought a MiniDV camcorder and a MDD in early 2003. Did a lot of video work and never had any issues transferring the video to the Mac. Of course I had all new equipment and tapes. Old tapes and not so clean heads might make a big difference

could be a power supply issue. Does the hard drive spin up after you press the power button?

It basically just adds more PCIe slots to my Mac Pro. Anything that fits in a PCIe slot should work. The Mac Pro SATA ports has a top transfer speed of 3 gigabits per second. The PCIe slots have about twice that speed so I'm booting off a SSD on a PCIe card. I have 1 OWC card for a SATA drive...

I'm prepared for this, I'd previously picked op some medical grade power supplies for this eventuality. Actually I picked up ones that I could squeeze into a Vulcan. With the Apple power supply I don't have to do any squeezing.

Finally got around to taking a pic Not vert visible but it contains 3 hard drives on cards and a USB 3 card. Now I just need something for the other 15 slots

Had an interesting occurrence. On powering up a IIgs the video was grainy. Turns out I was getting only 2 volts on one of the 12v pins. Swapped in a spare and video was normal. All the caps and everything look ok. I guess it’s time to upgrade the power supply.

Picked up a 20 slot expansion box for my 5,1 Mac Pro. Actually two expansion boxes but only one one interface card for the Mac Pro. One Stop Systems Max Express. A little loud with 3 large internal fans. Thought about disconnecting 1 or 2 fans as I can’t see myself ever filling it but the way...

Yeah, looks like artmixs SCSI-CF cards are history. Sort of wish I'd bought a couple more. Last year I bought one of his SCSI-SD cards. I installed it in an external SCSI case and used it with a variety of Macs and Apple IIs with no issues.

as well as SCSI2SD there's artmixs SCSI-CF and SCSI-SD adapters. I've never had an issue with them.

I get that if the computer I'm installing it on isn't connected to the internet

Haven't tried Patriot. I did try 3 brands. An intel which initially worked but seemed to lose it's formatting repeatedly. Moved it over to a macbook where it worked fine. A Samsung worked fine until I got rid of the G5. I don't recall the third brand. It had issues as well but is working fine in...

Which brand of SSD did you buy?

I have DazzleDraw somewhere. I'll see about getting some more software over to the IIe. Between them the kids spent about 8 hours on the IIe yesterday so I guess I'm not taking it home tonight. They won't use it much today as it's super busy with martial arts classes and dance. I'll leave it...
