Bluescsi and Powerbook 160 question
Posted by: Wawavoun on 2022-07-31 06:01:41 Hello, I have replaced the internal scsi drive of a Powerbook 160 with a Bluescsi. A have a SD memory with 3 active images that works very well into a standard Bluescsi (the one for scsi flat cable) connected to the Powerbook scsi expansion port. If I put this SD memory into the internal Bluescsi the boot become hazardous. Sometime (often after a reset with the rear switch) the Powerbook boot and then everything seems to okay. Sometime (generally after power on) the Powerbook wont boot and play the 4 notes dead chime. If I disable 2 of the 3 images just leaving a bootable one then the Powerbook boot well everytime ! So I am salvaged... I suspect a timing problem because when the bluescsi is outside the Powerbook he is powered before the computer but inside he is powered at the same time... Also of course after a reset there is no problem because the bluescsi is already powered when the computer reboot. But it could be handy to work with multiple images. Any idea will be appreciated ! Regards. Philippe
