Pre-2002 QuicksilversSo here’s the possible solution to the Quicksilver SSD / ADP-06, Jaguar / Tiger install with a conventional HD also in place. ADP-06 and SSD in place on the middle, grey cable connector (seen as Master) and the conventional HD connected to the black cable connector [jumpered and seen] as Slave). *After OS install, the SSD with ADP bridge can be placed on either the black or the grey connector, when used alone as a solo drive and it will still be recognized, useable and bootable (without the 3.5” drive present).
However, in order to use a 2nd SSD and bridge in a pre-2002 Quicksilver (in place of the 3.5” drive) - an Addonics or StarTech bridge would be needed. (The ADP bridges do not provide for a Slave setting, whereas the Addonics & StarTech do.) *Greystash’s less expensive “Bribge” adapters might also function too.
2002 Quicksilvers reportedly changed to Cable Select (like the MDDs) and in those cases… one might need (2) Addonics (or StarTech) bridges for their Cable Select settings. /Have ordered 2 of the StarTech bridges to test this later. AND of course, will also attempt with an ADP-06 bridge in the mix on an MDD as well. (There’s no 2002 Quicksilver present here to test.)
Below, see the SSD partitioned into 3 equal partitions.
OS 9 / DieHard’s Instant DAW installed on the first.
OS 10.2 Jaguar installed on the SPACE partition.
OS 10.4.6 Tiger installed on the SPACE II partition.
AND
OS 10.4.6 Tiger installed on the TIGER! HD
Now all bootable and visible from whichever OS is booted.
*Installed Tiger OVER Jaguar on the SPACE II partition and on the TIGER! HD.
Now I can erase SPACE & SPACE II for working space…
as Tiger is now resident on the SLAVE drive.
Hopefully, part12studios will be allowed to finally and successfully install Tiger in some manner or form after removing the following cards from his Quicksilver: M100, scsi, motu 324, video card. (Except for maybe that video card.) All things considered, it’s possible that installs could have been done on the drives while in the Sawtooth (main differences being all of those cards installed in the QS) and
then SSD moved to the Quicksilver with OS pre-installed. An item from both the Jaguar & Tiger install discs “Before You Install” PDFs notes the following:
Installing on a computer with a third-party SCSI cardIf you have a third-party SCSI card installed in your computer and you cannot start up
Mac OS X, attach a disk or SCSI terminator to one of the card’s ports. If you continue to
have problems, try removing the card. Contact the manufacturer of the card for more
information about using the card with Mac OS X. (That’s just for the SCSI card alone.)

doesn’t quite jive with an actual Mac CS cable visually… Quicksilver or MDD.
