compu_85 Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I have a G3 Walstreet II / PDQ 300, and want to upgrade the hard disk. I picked up a Ableconn IIDE-MSAT mSATA to 2.5-Inch IDE Adapter and Zheino 128GB M3m SATA SSD. The jumper configuration is the same as the Seagate 160g spinny drive I removed (the original 6gb drive was dead when I got the machine) - no jumper = master. I verified the ID select pins are not connected to anything in the little adapter PCB. Whenever the SSD is hooked up, the CD-ROM doesn't work. The machine knows something is in the bay, but System Profiler doesn't see the CD-ROM. I tried re-jumpering the SSD as CableSelect and Slave... those settings let the CD work, but the SSD does not. Any suggestions for other steps to try? Or do I need to get a different mSATA adapter? Thanks! -J Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AichEss Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 A different mSATA to IDE adapter should be a first choice. I've had good results from the generic Asian-sourced adapters on the Bay. And they are jumperless. Good luck. AichEss Quote Link to post Share on other sites
