The \'second hard drive for audio\' route....
I end up deciding that I need one. My Yikes/OS8.6/320Megs RAM with Digi001 and Logic gives me Direct i/o errors around 20 mostly stereo tracks of audio playing.
Now what are your experiences with Ultra33 and 66 on a Yikes? My plan is to get a Maxtor Diamond Plus (7200rpm Ultra66 or Ultra100) and install it without a card. Anyone's been down that road before? How many tracks can you play-back? |

Re: The \'second hard drive for audio\' route....
It works perfectly fine on my Yikes (an early 400).
I have second IBM 7200RPM Ultra ATA drive setup and partitioned for audio use. No trouble at all hitting and maintaining maximum track performance with the 001. It is better on the second drive if you partition the drive with several small partitions (~5 gigs or so) and use those for your audio sessions. Less seeking and overall better performance from the drive. |

Did you put your IBM as a slave or a master on the IDE chain? Do you have your system on the original HD or on the IBM?

Re: The \'second hard drive for audio\' route....
Kick,
I've also got a Yikes 400. I added a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 27GB about 9 months ago, unpartitioned (to allow maximum space for live recordings). Everything workds great - I can record & play 24 tracks of 24bit with no problems. I recently added another Maxtor 40G drive in the Zip drive bay, and it works well (in fact, it's quite a bit faster than the 27G!) You should have no problems with your proposed setup. Jeff D. |

Re: The \'second hard drive for audio\' route....
Sorry for a stupid question, but what are the differences between the Yikes and other G4's? I bought my G4 as soon as they were available. It's 400Mhz and cost me $2500. Is this a Yikes? Can it be upgraded?
Also, does anyone know where can I find a good deal on a 40 gig ATA internal? thanks!!

>Dropamine, go into Apple menu>Apple system profiler. Under Hardware overview, it should say what type of powermac you have PCI graphic is a Yikes, AGP graphic is a sawtooth. I'd bet yours a Yikes if you bought right away. The motherboard is really the one of a G3, and the ATA bus are 33Mbps, not 66 like in sawtooth, there's one more firewire port on the sawtooth...
For the others: I'm planning on getting this baby: http://123cdc.com/cdc/maxsearch.Disp...44&p_itemcode= Is that a maxtor diamond plus? Is that a good drive? Thanks! |
