soft power and power light on 712/60
I have had no heat problems. The IBM drive is a 68-pin SE drive from '98= . It runs very cool and never gets too hot to touch. I put it internal= ly since that was easier than finding an unused external enclosure.
Did the soft power & light work with the external enclosure?
Thanks,
Derek

The only thing unusual about the setup is that I replaced the old 500mb

hard drive with a 4.5gig IBM drive with a 68pin-50pin converter.
Hmm it is highly probable.
Four years ago, for a project of upgrade 712 workstation, we asked to HP if it was possible to put internal (SE) 4Gb disk. HP said that it was onl= y
supported on 712/100.
Later, I had the opportunity to test Linux on a old 4Gb (SE) external dis= k
with an old 712/60. (Even thought it was the very begining, it still work= s
fine and help me a lot). Then I remember that 'not supported' didn' t mea= ns
that it would not works. So I removed this disk from its enclosure and pu= t
it into the workstation. Well it works but not for a long time: apparentl= y
it warmed too much but fortunately not too long time (so I can put it ba= ck
in its original enclosure and continu to work). So there are an actual pr= oblem
of heat exchange in this small box?

Is the drive and converter causing the problem, or is there something I
can

do software wise to fix this?
For above mentioned project, we also use external SE 4Gb disk with wide (= 68
pins) connector without pb. Is your 4.5Gb IBM disk is well of SE type?
