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

[Willi Kusche]

Hi!

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

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.

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
Mike

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. ;-)
