G3 Wallstreet NO boot with SSD!
Posted by: aplmak on 2020-07-01 01:50:01
Ok here’s one for ya’ll. Wallstreet 333 MHz I replaced with a Trancend 32gb IDE ssd. Formatted fine with Apple HD drive setup. Installed OS 9.2.2 perfectly. Drive appears on desktop with all files. Mind you I did this via a bootable PCMCIA 32gb card. Now will not boot PCMCIA card out of course.. CD ROM unresponsive to eject. 

So fine I throw a 4gb ide back in it! Booted fine! CD operates fine.. I mean what the heck??????

Any Ideas???

It was the stupid Master/Slave jumper! So I put the jumper on Master and bent it all the way down. Had to squeeze it in the hdd caddy but it’s screwed in and WORKS!!!!
