Thanks for your input, Theos. The main reason I bought this particular Wallstreet was because it was the holy grail of Wallstreets. RAM is maxed out to 500MB, it has an 80GB internal 2.5" IDE hard drive that is very fast, the processor is a 500MHz G4, it came with a Bookendz docking station (which I've not used yet), a good battery, the USB card, a Firewire card, the floppy drive module, a CD-ROM module, a DVD Module and an Apple branded PC card to decode DVD movies. Plus the hard drive was pre-partitioned for me by the seller, with OS X Tiger on the 8GB partition and OS 9 and various files on the 70GB partition.
But everything came to a halt last night after I cloned by internal drive to the external SSD. The USB connection had nothing to do with it. I used SuperDuper. I ticked "Repair Permissions before cloning." And once that was done, when I tried to reboot into OS X, all I got was the spinning spiked wheel. But it seems odd that repairing permissions would have done that. Even so, I had all manner of other errors on the drive (mentioned in my previous post) before I cloned my drive last night. So I don't know what to think.
I need to go home tonight and put in a fresh PRAM battery. I paid through the nose to get a brand new one from OWC. Plus I paid $100 to OWC for a brand new main battery too. I also paid for a copy of the OS 9 version of Intech's HD Speed Tools, but sadly my CD from OWC is defective (unreadable even on my iMac), and after a couple days of waiting, OWC still hasn't replied back about that.
Problems, problems and more problems. I feel plagued.
