Sorry about the full sig last time. This system is really weird.
(Comet) To all who've been helping with the SCSI probs, I took the drive
and patched it into a IIsi and everything's cool. No problems at all
(except an occasional problem with the free space, and an initial problem
with the superblock). The superblock problem still occurred. The
difference is that the SCSI driver didn't cause a magic number error when
it marked the partition as clean. (The damage occurred at that point on
the PB145.) I think I've found the problem on the PowerBook, too. The
system says that it has no ROM vectors for this system whenever it boots
on the PowerBook. It said PowerBook style ROMs, I believe, as it should
have. I dunno. It's working. That's what matters. Now I've just got
to figure out this ethernet card.
Weird thing, though. Whenever the IIsi had the drive connected through
the SCSI ethernet box, it refused to recognize the drive and said there
was no boot partition. Ouch! I can understand not recognizing the card
-- but the hard drive!?! Scary thought. Anyway, booting w/o the SCSI
box is just fine. I tried it *several* times to make sure everything was
okay. I'm hoping to swap the SCSI box with a card soon. I'm hoping the
card isn't a SONIC based card. If it is, I'll be waiting for SONIC *and*
FPE. Not good, huh. At least it runs, though.
Later,
