    Help with TCP/IP, OT and OS 7.6

    In my router there is a range of IP addresses assigned to DHCP and that's from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.99.  If I manually assign an IP address to a device on the network, it is outside of that range, meaning 192.168.100 to 192.168.1.254 (do not use 255).  I do this to keep a service like a...

    Help with TCP/IP, OT and OS 7.6

    Sounds like you MIGHT have a similar problem to the one I had with my LC475.  Since I have a Apple IIe card in the internal slot, I connected an Asante EN/SC external ethernet box that sits in the SCSI chain.  But I couldn't get it to work, very frustrating.  Then I tried a null ethernet cable...

    SE/30, SCSI2SD and ROM-inator II

    Thanks olePigeon and good luck with your Iici.  Using an SD card for the system drive is dead quiet but speed is limited by the SCSI bus.  My focus was making my SE/30 as fast as possible. Blougram, according to my document, Mode32 is run to remove it from the system disk if it's installed...

    SE/30, SCSI2SD and ROM-inator II

    Good Morning All, I have completed the upgrades to my SE/30 and I thought I'd share my experience.  I replaced the system HD with a 16 GB SCSI2SD divided into 5 partitions.  The first one I kept down to 2 GBs for compatibility, three more sized at 4 GBs, and the final leftover is 718 MBs.  The...

    My SE/30 is Up and Running

    Thank you for your responses.  When I bought the SE/30 a couple of years ago, the motherboard caps had already been replaced, but that apparently didn't include the power supply. I'm using the model A Floppy EMU in floppy mode to boot the SE/30.  I've been exchanging emails with Steve...

    My SE/30 is Up and Running

    Hello everyone.  I got my SE/30 up and running yesterday.  I brought it out of storage last week to replace the dirty ROM with a clean one from bigmessowires but the CRT display would blink on and off.  I left it on for a while and it eventually stopped that, but it tried to boot but hung.  Then...

    Price tag for a Transwarp GS

    It was a long process to build these two machines. I owned a IIgs back in the '80s but sold it when I needed room for newer PCs. What got me back into it was the CFFA3000. When I saw what it could do, I immediately ordered two of them (they were available at the time) before I had any real...

    Price tag for a Transwarp GS

    Okay, what's the value of a ROM 01 (or ROM 03, I have both) IIGS with an Uthernet card, an Apple HS SCSI card with CD-ROM drive, a 17 MHz TWGS, Apple II 3.5" drive controller along with two 3.5 1.44 Superdrives, one 3.5 800K drive, two 5.25 floppy drives, a CFFA3000 along with an A2heaven 8MB...

    Speeding Up an LC475

    Hi All, as promised I've been working on speeding up my LC475.  I have two motherboards but one case.  I found the documents online for speeding up an LC475 to 33 or even 40 MHz.  So I ordered the switches, wires, resistors, heat shrink, etc., to add the mod.  I had already purchased a couple of...

    Blessing the System File in OS 7.5.5

    Final update on this topic.  With all the shenanigans I've been doing with the SCSI2SD I/F and the LC475, my ProDOS partitions have been copied a lot and the Apple IIe card would no longer boot from them.  After scratching my head a bit, I made copies of the partitions and booted the IIe card...

    Blessing the System File in OS 7.5.5

    I wanted to update this for everyone.  I decided to take a different tack on this issue and work with SCSI drives to see if it would make a difference.  So I ordered a SCSI2SD version 5 and version 6 adapters to see if they would work any better than the backups I was doing before.  Yesterday, I...

    Blessing the System File in OS 7.5.5

    There is a wrinkle I thought of this morning that I haven't mentioned because I thought it shouldn't matter.  The external SCSI backup HD is less than a gigabyte in size so I don't have any place to put all my copied files locally.  With a IIe card mounted, the LC475 ethernet network connection...

    Blessing the System File in OS 7.5.5

    Thanks rickrob, I tried booting from a floppy and used the Startup Disk to select the first partition but it made no difference.  It didn't fix the System Folder.  I haven't tried 'System Picker' yet. What I did do was reinstall 7.5.3 from floppy and upgrade to 7.5.5.  The using the "Installing...

    Blessing the System File in OS 7.5.5

    Thank you just.in.time for your suggestion.  I tried it and rebuilt the desktop files all Mac partitions.  But no change with the system file.  It's still a plain subdirectory icon. Gerry
