Lombard SCSI
Posted by: techknight on 2014-01-19 11:47:07
I have Mac OS Tiger 10.4.11 installed on my lombard, and I noticed its not seeing any SCSI hardware or its drives attached. Boot into OS9, it does just fine.

Any reason why?

Maybe it's because Tiger isn't officially supported on the Lombard, and it is therefore not loading the necessary SCSI drivers.

I don't know. Someone else will chime in who knows more than I, I'm sure.

Well I have a 4GB LaCie external that I am trying to image. Disc Utility is nice, but it doesnt see the SCSI.

So I booted in 9, and Disk Copy wont image it because its too big.

So then I tried the 6.5 Beta, which imaged it perfectly into a DMG, but it cant be recognized by anything but itself! and it even reports and error when opened. LOL. It was a beta for a reason i guess.

So anyone know of a good disk imaging utility for OS9? Kinda like ghost.

Why am I imaging it? Because I want to retain the partition information, including the data partition. Also has a LaCie utility partition by silverlining, and has a silverlining driver at bootup.

I want to retain the entire drive map/image like ghost, So i can swap out the 4GB quantum and put the 36GB server drive in its place, and restore the image. This way it still appears as a silverlining device, and still shows up correctly, etc...
