SCSI2SD & IIx

[Mr SN]

Hi, I have a SCSI2SD V5.1 and I'm not having a lot of luck getting it working with a Iix, has anyone done this successfully?  I can get partitions on it, install an OS, but eventually run into disk corruption issues when installing OS 7.5.

Have you used the SCSI2SD with other macs before?  If the drive is getting corrupted, there may be something off with your settings.

There is also some bugs fixed in lastests firmwares about data corruption. I would try upgrading the firmware first.

Good luck !

HI, yes I have a V5.1 working in a Mac IIci.  On this same IIx using a V5.5 (external 25pin) it seems to work ok - however, it is mostly reading from the V5.5.  I also have a V6 working on a PowerMac 6112.   I'll check the firmware tonight.

I am pretty sure I figured out what the problem was. The old drive still booted so I was attempting to use the old system folder along with Rominator II and I think I caused a Mode32 conflict which resulted in drive corruption.  With the old ROM and a fresh OS install to 7.5.5 all seems pretty stable now.  Thanks for the tips!
