I have older Mac G3 with 1GHD, running OS 9.1. (Need to keep machine for tax programs). Bought external LaCie SCSI 50G as an add on. G3 hard drive is "HFS", external 50G is "HFS+". Desktop shows both hard drives fine. cSystems profiler shows both fine. Mac G3 is"0" and 50G add on is "1" in SCSI chain. Why does the MAC lock up when I try to move-copy existing folders to the new 50GHD? Have to do hard reboot!
If I copy-move one (1) file at a time... no problem and no lock up. Copy-write process starts and then freezes with folders or multiple files. Could this be due to my installed Norton's Utilities (File Saver)? Could this be due to SCSI term error? What is difference
between HFS and HFS+? Should both drives be formatted the same?

I doubt that it has some thing to do with HFS yet extremely on the size of the walls i imagine that the firmware of the G3 (beige) facilitates purely mac os 9.01 to be put in on the first 8 gig of HD.. I wouldnt opt to deceive you yet i imagine your massive scsi is to considerable a partition- attempt partitioning it..
