Hi,I've just got my hands on a Performa 600.
It has a 120 MB harddisk but I'd like to add a 1 GB drive, I got from Ebay and a new CDROM, since the old one used a caddy and was not working. When I add these to the SCSI chain, leaving the internal harddisk at the end to use its internal terminator, the harddisk spins up, and the CDROM (currently a Teac CDR58S, 8x burner, waiting for a 12x Plextor) also accepts CDs, but I don't know how to format the harddisk and when I insert my System 7.5 disk, the CD does not show up on the desktop.
(both show up fine in a SCSI probe) Any ideas or links to howto docs?
Thanks,
Dennis
P.S.: What filetype and creator id are right for .sea.bin .bin .img .img.bin ???

well, if it shows up under SCSIProbe, you should be good, as long as it isnt flashing a nasty message that says bus not terminated. you may want to throw an old apple cdrom there, because it (for sure) can use apple's in-built CD driver extention. the OS may not like the burner, and is thus not showing it. As for the hard drive, if it wasnt in a mac before, it needs to be initialized and partitioned. See if you can dig up a copy of Apple HD SC setup, or disc copy (if its an apple drive, comes free with apple computers) or silverlining (if its any other brand, you can find it with some googling, or check out hotline) to initialize the drive so it can be recognized.as for the file types & creators: .sea.bin is a MacBinary of a self-expanding archive (requires stuffit)
.bin is a MacBinary file (requires stuffit)
.img is a disk copy image (requires apple disk copy, google for it)
.img.bin is a MacBinary of an disk copy image (requires stuffit and disk copy) any of the things that I told you to google for, may also be found at gamba (address: home.earthlink.net/~gamba2) gamba is the absolute best resource for odd mac stuff, such as service manuals, boot disks, and os images. hotline is also helpful for these things CCC PS: kill me if I'm wrong here, then correct me Commander

Thank you so much for all the input.
The gamba site has a SuperBooter75 disk, which had everything I needed: A patched Apple HD SC Format for non-Apple harddisks and "CD Sunrise" for non-Apple CDROMs. Everything works fine now.As for the filetype and creator ids, I need the 4 letter code, but I found a nubus nic on ebay! I downloaded the files to my PC and I found a tool to write the mac-specific part, but now I will setup a server on my pc ...
