@joevt ,
First I have seen the same notes that state that the ANS won’t boot from the internal fast and wide SCSI buss & that for MacOS on ANS requires a PCI video card. Neither is true on my Shiner. It only has the built-in video and 5 9GB drives + ANS CD drive. Also I have a IOGear USB PCI card that I used to backup the RAID array to a USB SSD drive, I used the MacOS SoftRAID to turn the 5 drives into a RAID 5 setup. I have not done anything more than boot the MacOS 9 install from CD. I need to run thru the entire install process to verify that on the Deep Dish with the MacOS ROM everything works end to end. I also can’t verify that the system/CPU boards are GM and not EVT.
I also have a PowerMac 9600/200 MP if that can be use to flash the ROM is necessary. I also purchased a parts only TNT 7500 system boards so if a ROM SIMM socket is needed I have one that I can easily remove from the board.
I should add your DingusPPC to my things todo, that list is getting very crowded.
Is there documentation that will help?
adios,
jt
