- Installation of Genera LISP worlds fails using Quadra 900 internal CD-ROM drive
Problem Log
ADB mouse and keyboard do not respond
The keyboard and mouse are known to be good, but nothing happens when a key is pressed on the keyboard, or when the mouse is moved. The keyboard status LEDs flash once when powering up the system, but do not light again if, for example, the Caps Lock key is pressed.
The Quadra 900 system battery is dead. Replace with 3.6v Lithium cell, size 1/2 AA.
Installation of Genera LISP worlds fails using Quadra 900 internal CD-ROM drive
When running Ivory Breath of Life to initialize the FEP filesystem and restore the Genera LISP worlds, the process fails to read data from CD. The following message is printed in the FEP window:
Superseding condition=> disk: Unit 0 at SCSI ID 6, status: 2, sense: 5, additional-sense: 72, sector NIL, reason: NIL [Error: Error while opening CART30:: UMAKE-INSTANCE on :closed NIL <<Error printing #<DTP-ARRAY 37000554450>>> with REFERENCE-COUNT = NIL] FEP Command:
The FEP can only restore LISP from a single-speed CD-ROM drive. The unit installed in the Quadra 900 is an Apple CD300, which is a double-speed drive.
