Hi all, long time Mac and Linux user here. Grateful for help on formating the 4Gig non-apple drive for my centris 650. Currently I'm trying to revive a IIci that has a dead logic board. I recapped it with tantalums and it now powers up and the drive spins, but I get the "chimes of death". Swapping out the RAM and reseting the PROM to defaults hasn't worked. Oh well. :^( |

Operating System / Non-Apple 4 GB 50 pin scsi Drive

Quote from: "wove" At that point in history Apple's tools were limited to working with Apple branded hardware. Apple HD SC needs to be patched to work with non Apple hard drives. You can find the patch and information about how to create the patch here: Thanks for your help - it worked. I used the patch script on my HD SC Setup 7.3.5 file and then used the patched file to initialize and format the drive. Then I decided to install OS 8.1 from a CD. The install media initially complained about the drive not not being Apple approved, but still allowed an install. Boots fine, runs great! |

Operating System / Non-Apple 4 GB 50 pin scsi Drive

I've got a Centris 650 running MacOS 7.5.5 on an Apple/Quantum 230 MB drive. Recently I've come across a good non-Apple 4 GB 50 pin scsi Drive that I want to use instead. I can boot off the disk tools floopy, but I can't seem to get the centris to recognize the drive in order to initialize it and install 7.5.5. Is there a way to get an old mac to use non-Apple drives? Thanks in advance, tux |
