Hello all,
Hope you are doing well.
As many of you, I have some "vintage" hardware keep on running.
One of them is a Lacie Quadra D2 USB2.0/FW400/FW800/Esata, which I believe is 1st gen.
Running a 1Tb HDD. Wanna upgrade its HDD.
Tried a 3Tb NAS HDD and it detected only 750Gb, not sure if it is the controller or the hdd. HDD returned.
I have a 2Tb laying around my parents house, and on christmas I will get back and get it.
And so I would love to upgrade the enclosure firmware to ensure the best compatibility possible.
The installer for Lacie Firmware updater was found here but doesn't run on my PB G4, nor on my M4.
Given that we need to connect via firewire, I would love to try it on my powerpc, so thought of grabbing an older installer/firmware updater powerpc compatible and grab the latest firmware bins from the latest installer.
So my question: does anyone know which was the latest firmware updater for lacie drives compatible with powerpc?
2 - As anyone tried this?
Yes I know an new enclosure is only 25eur, and it is faster etc, but I hate to have things unnused, specially when they are compatible with all my pcs/macs and the performance is ok for my use.
Thank you all for the help
