Hi. An update.
It was the disk. seems my mini doesn't like booting of a -rw. it was the only disk I had so was stuck for a few days until my new DVD-R's arrived but then I was stuck for 18hrs because they were delivered to my neighbour and they didn't answer the door when I tried to retrieve...
yeah. I did wonder. I burned the iSO using imgburn on PC as my M1pro refused to burn it to my external burner for some reason, but it was on a DVD-RW, literally the only blank DVD I had. I've ordered some DVD-R. hopefully they may work a bit better.
I'm quite puzzled about the USB stick though...
Just to follow up to this, I have managed to get it to boot from a MorphOS CD, so it is capable of booting off a disk. Is there anything specific i should do when burning an iso for boot?
Does the Classic II tend to have issues when cold? I dont have one, but when i repaired my Classic I i had issues with low voltages from cold (like, hadnt been run for at least 14hrs.) after a couple of mins it would startup, or, i could make it happen faster by directing heat on the main...
Hi. Just picked up a Nice Mac Mini, 1.42Ghz, 1gb, 80gb. all seems to work ok, but i cant get it to boot off DVD or USB.
I have burned a Tiger ISO to a DVD-RW (the only disk i had!) and when the machine has booted off the HDD it will read the disk ok, and if I select Startup Disk from prefs, i...
Finally able to try this and yes! it's booting into 7.5.5 with 32 Bit addressing. Thanks
The original sales page in Tindie did mention the patch and the rom boot but in the moment I have completely forgotten about that and thought the worst!
Thanks for your help
Brilliant! Thankyou!
I never realised this. I made the assumption that i needed to be on a later version of the OS for this to work. I'm fairly certain that the earliest image i tried was 7.5.3. But, yes, i was able to boot off a 7.0.0 floppy and HD image no problem.
I've got the old rom back...
So, an update.
I set up a blank image and booted from a System 7.0 floppy disk. I was asked to initialise the drive which I did, and then I copied the system folder from the floppy to the HDD image and rebooted. it booted up with this configuration.
I then tried swapping the rom out for the...
HI. First post here, looking for some advice.
I have an SE/30 I have recently saved. I've fully cleaned and recapped the logic board, and cleaned everything else. I'll get around to recapping the analog board/PSU at some point but everything seems stable.
I recently put in a BlueSCSI V2 and...
