Opardalis Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Though this would be straight forward, but I am having difficulty booting a PB 3400c with an external CDROM (Apple 600e). I just get the flashing disk on the screen. This is following replacement of hard drive. Holding C doesn't do anything, neither does CMD-SHFT-OPT-DEL-SCSI_ID. I dont even hear or get any activity on the CDROM. This is a working CDROM, use it all the time. What am I missing here? -John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Opardalis Posted July 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Finally got it to work, turns out it was a bad adapter. Bad news is my compact flash card/adapter isn't recognized! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kerobaros Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 I also just tried a CF card and adapter in a 3400c, and had no luck. I had a card that would boot from a PC Card adapter without a problem, but when installed internally, the boot process would freeze on the grey screen with a stuck mouse pointer. Swapped back to the 2GB hard drive, and that's working just fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Opardalis Posted July 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 I decided to go with a king spec pata ssd as it seems to work better then cf, should arrive in a few days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
