Got it backing up now. Its a .img. Not sure how one would get an .hda? Maybe just change the extension and it will work?

Ah okay so simple it seems to make it boot with something like a SD to IDEYes, renaming it to .hda should work. Raw images created like this don't have a standard type. Can be .hda, .dd, bin, .iso, .img, but that's mostly the same.
Yes, the important and tricky bit is you need the disk driver partitions, which will be there if you've ripped it from a real disk as a byte by byte copy.Ah okay so simple it seems to make it boot with something like a SD to IDE
very interesting, I hope this works because I cannot get the 7.7 on Macintosh repository to boot so it'd be nice to play around with this on say an LC 475 or something.Yes, the important and tricky bit is you need the disk driver partitions, which will be there if you've ripped it from a real disk as a byte by byte copy.
The LC475 is a SCSI machine, so the copy from the 6360 has the wrong disk driver. One could be made though. Easiest to do on another SCSI machine but.... I have manually assembled one before using dd and careful copying known numbers of blocks into a new disk image... not recommended.very interesting, I hope this works because I cannot get the 7.7 on Macintosh repository to boot so it'd be nice to play around with this on say an LC 475 or something.
So this means 030, and 040 machines will likely not run this?The LC475 is a SCSI machine, so the copy from the 6360 has the wrong disk driver. One could be made though.

I'll give this a go later today and I'll be sure to post a picture.Uploading the new disk image to the garden page now. Should be ready soon. Took an hour or two to backup. So jajan, when you download the new one just change the .img to .hda and see what happens.
Also, I would appreciate any screenshots from this system running to add to the page!
Processor isn't the issue, there are IDE 68k Macs, the Performa 630 and variants specifically. The software will work if you copy the files to a SCSI disk, its just you can't flash the 6360 image directly to a disk with a different interface type.So this means 030, and 040 machines will likely not run this?
I can, my G3 (8.1/8.6/9.1) is set up - didn't know they unified later, might be useful to let me combine my SCSI and IDE versions@Phipli Right, because the disk drivers are different between SCSI and IDE (though, didn't they unify both types into one universal driver toward the end of the Classic era? Since the 6360 is PPC, maybe one can take a driver made using, say, Mac OS 9.1's Drive Setup and see what happens?).

If someone knows how to make this applicable to SCSI based Macs that’d be wonderful.I can, my G3 (8.1/8.6/9.1) is set up - didn't know they unified later, might be useful to let me combine my SCSI and IDE versions
The issue is that I think they were planning to put their IDE adapter in a SCSI computer
I am not that savvy at this kind of stuff but if someone here makes one bootable on SCSi please do share it.FWB hard disk toolkit version 4.x supports ATA and SCSI devices, and installs both drivers automatically on a drive. You could image that file over to an IDE drive, update the drivers using FWB, then re-image it again and you’d theoretically have a drive image that can boot from IDE or SCSI.
But what are you going to write it to? What do you have that you can write the disk image to that works in the LC475? Making the SCSI version is easy, but you need to be able to transfer it. Do you have a SCSI2SD?I am not that savvy at this kind of stuff but if someone here makes one bootable on SCSi please do share it.
I do but how do I go about this I'm very confused.But what are you going to write it to? What do you have that you can write the disk image to that works in the LC475? Making the SCSI version is easy, but you need to be able to transfer it. Do you have a SCSI2SD?
