TOPIC
Which computers can use Drive Setup?
DISCUSSION
Power Macintosh computers
Drive Setup is supported on all of the current Power Macintosh computers. This includes all the original Power Macintosh computers as well as the PCI-based Power Macintosh computers.IMPORTANT: Drive Setup is not supported with the Macintosh Processor Upgrade. If the upgrade is installed in a 64040- or 68LC040-based desktop computer with an IDE drive, use the 601 Processor Upgrade control panel to turn the card off before using Drive Setup.
The original Power Macintosh upgrade card is not supported either.
Desktop computers with IDE drives
Drive Setup is supported on 68040- or 68LC040-based desktop computers that have IDE drives installed, which includes:
- Macintosh LC 580
- Macintosh 630 series (LC 630, Quadra 630, Performa 630, Performa 635, Performa 636, Performa 637, Performa 638, and Performa 640)
IMPORTANT: Drive Setup is not supported on any 68LC040 processor equipped computers without IDE drives, even if the computer has a Power Macintosh Upgrade Card installed. If Drive Setup is launched on a computer that is not supported, a dialog box appears with the message, "Drive Setup cannot be launched on this computer," and an OK button.
PowerBook computers with IDE Drives
Drive Setup is supported on most PowerBook computers with an IDE drive, which includes:
- PowerBook 190
