X on SCSI?¿...

[omegaroot]

I have officially converted over to OS X with the advent of 10.1 (yay!).

Heres my problem though...

I have a sweet 10k RPM Quantum UltraSCSI drive hooked up to a Adaptec HBA. I want to run OS X off that cause that SCSI is a rocket compared to my roller skate stock ATA . I tried installed 10.0 on it but it has no SCSI support and 10.1 (i have the update CD) will only upgrade a drive with 10.x installed.

Does anyone know of a workaround for this issue? Is it possible to use diskcopy to copy the ATA drive and then 'imprint' that data on the SCSI?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

The easiest thing to do would be to just download the full 10.1 image.

You will need to created a custom OS 10.0 boot CD to do that install. Adaptec has drivers available for their 29160 & 39160 Ultra160 SCSI cards on their web site. They also have the proceedure on how to create the CD. You will need access to a burner and burner software like Toast. I have done this and it does work. FYI, 10.1 now includes these drivers. Hope this helps.
