he will chime in, everyone has their process, He's got a big house with lots of mac's. I'm sure he will get to it...
i'm just a git r dun kind of a guy. that is mainly why my customers love me so much as my turn around is usually sick fast.
I'm behind right now though, i was pretty sick from new years eve till mostly tuesday of the next week. And honestly i still kind of
feel like crap.
When i lugged the 5260 out of the shed for you i believe it was monday, that was a bad day as my ears were ringing...
but i grabbed my flashlight and trekked out into the cold , it was only 12 degrees F here... i had to stomp all of the ice in front of the doors to the shed as they were iced in, and then had to force one of them open as there must have been a ground hog that also swelled up the dirt directly in front of the shed doors, only to realize that my wife had stacked "stuff" one of those Fan exercise bikes with the swinging handles. and a family of 5 camping odds and ends including Camp chairs... the tent for 8, and other assorted camps stuff, after i fumbled around for about 20 minutes in the cold with just a pocket led flash light that has 90% dead batteries that had begun to cause the LED's to flicker strobe like... i was able to grab this yellow monster, kinda felt my back snap as i reached down low to get it. heaved it up there on my shoulder, kicked the shed door back into place, didn't realize the my wife had let the dog out and he is kind of a dummy ran at me full speed as i was walking with this thing on my shoulder and he started to slide and fall ground as he came up to me, almost took me and the 5260 out. He's a pit bull so there is quite a bit of mass on that knuckle head. Made it to the car, put it on the rear car seat, only to realize one of my fingers had kind of partially froze to the crt glass that was fun. Started the 30 minute one way drive to my office, only to un load, test and promptly post my results of the test. The good news is the Analog of my 5260 must be in pretty good shape because when i fired it up, it was still cold and the Tube came right on normally with out any weird noises... so that is also a good thing. When popped that q630 in the 5200 chassis, and everything worked, Sound, Video, Buttons on front, Serial, ADB, SCSI, CD-ROM, I was completely convinced it was golden... i had booted the machine with OS 8.1, from the external scsi port. Didn't honestly think anything of the fact the IDE wasn't booting as i knew it had mac os 8.6, and Drive setup showed the IDE drive there. and that was when the chain of events happened where i pulled the HD out and replaced it with the 500mb from the q630. The later discovering the IDE was not working. Even after trying the 40gig... its a 40 gig not 80 that was in the 5200. Even after trying the 40gig in the q630, with the q630 mb back in it, was able to Partition it... format it, (slowly) copy 8.1 over to it... and it booted right up... then took the same mb and hd back into the 5200 chassis. only to notice it was not booting, more then likely due to some kind of to and fro wiring anomaly, so the real question is who's paypal address do i send the bill for my time? My hourly rate is a low $36 an hour, I figure, I have about 3 hours or so into this project.
ok u said 650 + *800* not *700* my bad
