I'm trying to install this OWC SSD with Addonics SATA to IDE adapter:
https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/SSDMXLE060/In my Beige Power Mac G3 DT, Revision 3.
I disconnected the one and only primary IDE drive, a 60 gb 7200 IDE spinning disk connected to IDE channel 1, jumpered as the master device.
I then set the IDE to SATA adapter to master mode, and connected it up the IDE cable that was previously connected to the old hard drive. On pressing the power button, the Mac chimes as if everything is ok, but there is never any video output. I've waited for up to 10 minutes and it never comes to life. I also tried the adapter in cable select mode, but again, no video output here either.
Is this device just not compatible with my Power Mac? Or am I missing something in the setup? Or is it likely there is something wrong with the adapter and I should try and return it?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
