  • APPLE G3 B&W WON'T BOOT UP FROM EXT SCSI HDD. Please help.

    Hi everyone
    I am unable to boot-up my Apple G3 B&W from any external SCSI HDD.
    The ext. HDD's icon mounts on the desktop when not used as a boot up drive. However when the HDD is forced as a boot up drive, the G3 will not start up from the external HDD. (SCSI ID and termination are all OK)
    I have tried several HDDs and it's the same with all of them.
    The same external HDD boots up successfully from my older beige Apple but
    not from the G3!
    I am beginning to suspect it could be a software driver problem.

    Hardware is a G3 Blue & White (OS9.2.2) with an Advansys PCI SCSI card "ASB 3940ua Rev.2" All external HDDs have OS9.2.2.
    Can you suggest what I should do? Anyone using the same SCSI card?
    Any help sincerely appreciated.
    Thanks
    Jerry

    Newsgroup names that contain the string "apple2" are for the
    systems produced by Apple before they came out with the Macintosh.
    You need to find the appropriate Mac group.

    Since you cross-posted this to 5 apple II newsgroups and ZERO mac
    newsgroups, I think it could be a user intelligence problem!

    Chris,

    That was just plain rude and obnoxious.

    My news reader uses a smaller font on a large resolution screen. Lately the
    OS doesn't want to save any setting changes. Sometimes I have to take a
    second look at the words. This was one case. At first I thought the last
    three words were "rude and obvious". ;-)

    Later

    I have the same trouble on some web sites, mainly ftp sites.
    I can go to 1280, but I keep at at a median 1024 because of
    this. I totally know what you're going through there. Also, on
    Pogo games site, I have to decrease to 800 as the screens are
    so small, as in Hammerhead Pool, I can barely see the balls,
    let alone shoot at them. ;-)
