Why did you answer Wayne? Yours is working. ;-)
The drive that won't boot OS7 may be having
an intermittent signal loss somewhere, possibly
a chip or cable not seated right, or just dirt.
Could be the drive itself. Are they SCSI or IDE,
or MFM/RLL?
The SC20 was SCSI and original drive was a Seagate ST-225N. The case
is designed to take either a 5.25 or a 3.5" hard drive. The original
drive is really slow so replacing it with almost anything is a big
improvement.
BTW, would you happen to have any technical info,
schematics, hand-drawings, scans, pinouts, etc...
that I can drag out of you? Specifically RamWorks
II and III, Slinky, or RamFactor? Thanks.
I'm not sure what I have in that area. I'll take a look as soon as
possible but I'm in the middle of trying to sort out about 7 truck
loads and 8 car loads of Mac stuff, awkward in a 1 bedroom apartment
that already had a hundred Apple IIs and 20 Macs. I have a few blank
cards but I think they're fairly early ones like the Saturn 128,
should scan those. The person I think likely to have the most technical
info on those cards would be Tony Diaz. Talking him into spending the
time might be the hard part.
