Seems that all “green” SATA/IDE adapter “bridges” are not created equal? Thanks for the time spent and your images, Greystash! And funny how these threads covering material that we’ve been over before, will sometimes uncover new things.
All green SATA bridges are not ADP-06.
Looking at Greystash’s SATA bridge, notice the “SHORT: Master” and “OPEN: Slave” text on the bridge? (Red Arrow in attached pic.) Could this now represent a lower cost option to the more expensive “red pcb” Addonics & Star-Tech bridges?
[The ADP-06 bridge (also pictured) only offers a “directional” jumper setting for setting SATA to IDE or IDE to SATA with attached jumper.] Answer to your question IIO?
IF jumpering the pins on Greystash’s SATA bridge would enable SATA drives attached to be recognized as either “Master” or “Slave” / then a lower-cost SATA two-bridge solution for the Quicksilvers’ Master/Slave requirement… might now be possible for 2 SATA drives on that same cable?
*I especially like the spelling of BRIDGE on Greystash’s adapter: “Bribge”. And while I’ve never ordered anything from AliExpress, I may now order two of these bridges per Greystash’s info.
AND as IIO has already explained… YES, OS 9 and OS X partitions can “see” each other. BUT, maybe out of an “Abundance of Caution” (or sheer superstition) one might simply want to create a folder within the OS 9 (or “Media”) partition entitled “X Files” for storage of anything originating from OS X.
ALSO. I did install OS X Tiger over (again, as an update to) Jaguar… and not as a whollly different and separate version of OS X alongside or in addition to Jaguar. I “overwrote / UPDATED” Jaguar with Tiger. IF that Tiger disk successfully installed on the G4 PowerBook, it should definitely now work on the Quicksilver - unless it has somehow been damaged.
Boot into Jaguar. Load the OS X Tiger install disk. Reboot with the Tiger disk in while also holding down the C key. Then install Tiger as an UPDATE to Jaguar. If it doesn’t boot into the Tiger installer disk this way, then refer to your tattoo and try it again.
