[comp.sys.mac.hardware] External HD works ok on cx -> not on IIci?-Followup Post

18215MES@MSU.BITNET (06/30/90)

Hi Folks,
I managed to get an external terminator inbetween the IIci and the
External hard disk, and now it will at least boot fom the IIci,
(not the startup, the Iici has an internal quantom...)
Everything looks normal, except that, the machine will freeze up
almost immediatly as soon as I try to do anything with the files/windows
on the external HD..??? Ignoring the external, and just using the internal
seems to be ok ( I closed the window on the externel - just before it froze
the last time)... Anyway, does this have anything to do with the formatting
software? I understand Apple upgraded their HD formatting software in 6.0.5
Should that make a difference?

Thanks for any info/help
