I got it to boot off the external scsi drive. You have to set it in Control Panel -> Startup Disk and select your external drive. And then the next boot up it boots from the external drive.

Hi Parrotgeek1, Yeah, I think a better strategy is replacing the SCSI drives with CF or SD flash drives. Something I'd like to do eventually. But I watched video online about HD repair and watched a guy remove the PCB and check continuity between PWR and GND pins (on the connectors) and then...

Just a stab in the dark, I got a PB140 the other day (in an AS-IS basis) and surprisingly it works. But it won't boot from the hard drive. So I took it apart and poked around (after watching a few videos online). From what I can tell power is reaching the actuator arm and spindle (when I use...

I have the same problem. What I've been able to deduce so far is, If the HDI30 connector that goes into the laptop has 29 pins (i.e. the pin on the bottom right is missing) then it's a non-disk mode cable connector. That one pin will set the computer in disk mode. So you want to use a cable...

So I don't know what happened but my account was removed. Anyway, I'm back now. So it looks like the EMILE project has updates to 2014. https://gitorious.org/emile/mainline I'm still using the files from the old site on sourceforge.net. It has 2x boot images+rescue image, i.e. ...
