Awesome! :) Thanks for posting the pictures too! Please post how you get along with your new machine, the SE/30s is a great little machine to work on! I'm still (slowly...) working on mine! ;) Enjoy! :approve:

I was hoping to gain some feedback from people that are familiar with this issue. :) I have been experimenting with various CF cards in my SCSI-IDE-CF adapter. I attached a 5Gb Microdrive on the adapter and tried to format it with Lido 7, but the result of the format was a single volume of...

At one stage, I thought I did this to my SE/30 as well, until I realised that I forgot to plug in the SCSI connector. :I Like Byrd says, check all your connections, especially the power and SCSI connections. :)

Since it was Macintosh's 28th birthday yesterday, it got me thinking about the Compact Mac line. I stumbled upon this project by Roberto Barrios, where he places a CF into his Korg Trinton. This post was inspired by Roberto's project. I thought: "I wonder if the same could be done in a...

Sorry for being brief, I am posting from an iPhone. Brett, I've got almost the same machine that you've described. I've experienced similar issues with my SE/30, however when I followed the instructions on Gamba's page on installing on a SE/30 with IIsi or IIfx ROM, it worked. Give it a try...

Thanks for your help Zuiko! :) I don't know if anyone else has experienced this problem before, but I'll describe it so that if anyone else runs into it they can read this and save them some time: I have my SE/30s installed IIsi and IIfx ROM SIMM, following the instructions found on Gamba's...

Hi guys, Just to clarify, I have an IIsi ROM SIMM installed in my SE/30. 8Mb RAM. I was able to start up to System 7.5.5 with the 32-bit clean ROM SIMM installed but it was still not addressing more than 8Mb of RAM, I went into the Memory control panel and turned off virtual memory and turned...

For those that having been reading my posts on the forum, I'm now a little bit closer to scaling to the peak of Ultimate SE/30! :) Now, that I've solved, with the help of my fellow comrades: SE/30 startup problems Successfully booted from CF and Installed System 7.5.5. My next step is...

Just for the record, Mac OS 8 is HFS only, only Mac OS 8.1 onwards supports HFS+, I only have Mac OS 8 installed on my Power Macintosh 7200/120, so I don't think formatting is the issue. I figured that the problem was actually with how System 7.0 interacts with a disk with multiple...

I wasn't sure to put this topic here or to put it in the Compact Mac forum... :-/ I'm having difficult installing System 7.5.3 on my SE/30 equipped with a CF-IDE-SCSI adapter. I used my Power Macintosh 7200/120 to install System 7.5.3 on the CF card, selecting the option "system software...

Zebity, I can test your SCSI SSD setup in my machine if you like, PM me if you are interested. :) I've posted a summary of my experience on making a 50 pin SCSI SSD with CF on this thread here. It is certainly possible! :)

For those that have been following this thread know that I've been attempting to boot my pigeon pair of SE/30s from CF for a while now. I'm pleased to report that I've successfully done so. :) :beige: :b&w: 8-) I decided to put together my experience so that others can try it...

I just discovered that! Would have saved me some time if I'd read the forum before I fiddled with it! ;) I managed to format my CF and boot up from with it! :) Success!!! :) Now on the SE/30s! :)

Hi guys, I finally got FWB Harddisk tools to start a low level format on my CF card, but it says that the process will take 254 minutes! Is this normal?

I'm not sure if this is exciting to anyone else but me, but I acquired a Power Macintosh 7200/120 today! :) These machines are fairly rare in Australia :) Specs: Power Macintosh 7200/120 96Mb RAM 1Gb HDD Mac OS 8 Apple Color High Resolution RGB Display 640 x 480 13" I cleaned up the...
