I have a PM 7500, w Sonnet g4800, 688 ram,Radeon mac Ed. 32mb I have successfully been using an external SCSI drive to run osx.2.3 but that drive is going bad i think so i got the new ACARD 133 IDE PCI card. I was able , using XPF 2.2.5, to install x.2 up to the 1st reboot then i get the "You Have to Resart Your Computer..." screen I have turned everything off and restarted several times but same result. I am using the first partition (30gb) of an 80 gb drive, i did not keep it under 8gb becasue I thought if it starts to install in the 8gb+ partiton then it will remain OK after the install. Was this a wrong assumption, do you think the problem is due to latger than 8gb partition? Thanks steve |

I rebooted back to 9 and tried XPF again luck. I believe I had similar trouble before with an external SCSI drive and the problem was the HD drivers so I am going to try several ways to reformat the ACARD drive and see what happens. I am getting the same message others have gotten "unable to find driver for this platform: "AAPL:7500" Steve |

Same thing happened to me. Just reboot back into OS 9 and launch Xpostfacto again. If it acts like mine, then you will get a screen that asks for OS X.2 disc 2. Since your Acard PCI card sees the drive as SCSI, there should not be a 8Gb limit. |
