Somebody help? SCSI CD Burner freezing MAC
G4 466
adaptec 2930 external case with Panasonic CW 7502 It used to work but for some reason when I turn on the burner it locks up the system untill I turn it off and things run fine. I thopught I accedentally threw the drivers away but reinstalled driver and same thing happens. I had this problem with a SCSI Hard drive one time but I can't recall what I did to fix it. (maybe I threw it out the window) I'm thinking of purchasing anothr one but I do not want the same problem. I think it happened when moving the computer to a different location. Thank in advance for any reply. I NEED TO BURN CD'S!! |

Hi,
Based on the fact that you moved this computer recently, I would check for bent pins on your connecting cable. If memory serves me, the 2940 have a very delicate pin assembly that is easily bent if not installed carefully. Hope this helps, Yorik |

I had that same 2930 card, and a cranky Plexwriter.
Could be pin or loose card. ...flash P RAM (P,R, option, command) for three startup chimes? If that fails, Yamaha 2100s are now $119. Use your old case. .02 fleas

Did you check the obvious? Make sure there are no ID conflicts in the chain.

Hi,
It's not really a question of fiddling with it. You need to take it off, and examine the ends really carefully. It might not be immediately obvious that a pin has been pushed over and is making contact with another pin's seating. Hope you figure your problem. Peace, Yorik |
