![]() ![]() ![]() The RAID enclosure and set the selector to "independent", booted up. I thought it could but I'm not certain, so I followed OWC's instructions and inserted the SSD into Now, I can't recall if Windows can "see" Mac-formatted drives so they appear as folders. It didn't appear, but Windows knew it was here as it gave the merry "I see you" sound and again on disconnect. Plugged the drive into my PC (W10) via a USB dock. This was presumably to address internal speed issues, so as far is this post is concerned is I think a herring of the scarlet variety.) (I also found a Seriatek 1eVE2+2 PCI 4-port SATA controller (also has 2 internal cables) card, imported to the UK at an alarming cost. Looking through my collection of "stuff" I discovered that back then I had sourced an OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual RAID enclosure, which has USB 2 and FW 800, a FW 800 to 400 cable, and a Sandisk 120GB SSD. So, my "simple" solution, was, and possibly still would be, an external drive that had both USB 2 and FW 400, so I could swap files easily - and quickly - between the G3 and PCs. These days, I'd like to create bigger projects on this machine. Transferring files this way is obviously painfully slow, but at least it's an option.īack in the day I would burn three-minute video projects onto CD along with project files. The G3 has built in USB (retrospectively, USB 1) - two ports, one for KB & mouse, one spare. The G3 has FW 400 built-in, I have an external LaCie 20GB FW drive, just FW, no USB ![]() If I can try and describe the issue, just to be absolutely clear, not being funny etc: There's a video editing partition with Premiere 6, an old favouriute, and a Cubase 5.1 partition plus a larger storage partition. It seems to be running OK, three partitions on a HDD totalling 120GB. Perhaps I was trying to solve a range of issues and the topic/s was too broad. There was but one reply to my "The PCI / USB1 / FW400 / ATA100 issues" post in March 2018 despite it being read 2680 times. This seems on the surface a simple issue, but it drove me barking mad three years ago and my Mac G3 (bought new in '99 as a University student) project ground to a halt and I gave up. "All" I want, is to be able to save /backup projects to an external hard drive, and thence to a PC for further development and ultimately to the outside world via The Internet. Thanks to all who read my post three years ago about this issue. ![]()
