Hmm Thats too bad.

Does BE OS only run on power macintosh systems? What about 68K based machines? Just curious if there is a list of supported macintosh models as this would be a fun project.

I get it. While I was away in the NAVY my "friends" who I had asked to watch over some of my retro stuff took it upon themselves to draw conclusions like 1.) I was never coming back (maybe they thought I would die in combat?! I dunno 2.) This stuff was old junk why did he ask us to hold onto it...

Really? I figured you would have one. Just the external 300 alone is great for loading stuff on Old macs without a floppy from the Apple Legacy OS cd. Boot to the CD then load one of the many OS's direct from the CD installer. I found it to be so easy for stuff like that. That and the External...

I didnt want to leave the thread hanging too long. I verified I have all the files NJRoadfan listed but my appleCD 300 will still not load on my CMS scsi card. I guess my question would be is there anyone on the forum with a IIGs with a SCSI card and an external Apple CD300 or CD600 that can...

Thank you. Let me verify what files I have loaded and see which of these are missing.

IT says right on page one of the CMS manual "(hard drives, CD-Roms, etc)" https://mirrors.apple2.org.za/ftp.apple.asimov.net/documentation/hardware/storage/disks/CMS SCSI 2.0 Manual.pdf Just below that it mentions support for "(Zip, jazz, syquest, CD-Rom)" Why would they add that to the manual...

Well From what I learned online it seems the issue is the driver file. The ONLY widely supported driver under GS-OS is for the AppleCD SC Apples first HUGE caddy driven 1x model. And thats why they go for big money. Its a shame, I know alot of people use emulators now in replacement of real...

With that said that ls a very neat thing I have to try, making a GS-OS live CD. Thanks for the link. Something else important to note: We all thought the CMS card kind of stinks because it can only address any two 32MB prodos partitions at one time, but that turns out to not be entirely true...

Mine is definitely not an Apple branded one. I went through ever single disk image for SCSI and they pretty much all say "apple scsi card not found". Here is a screenshot of the onboard scsi utility built into the SCSI cards rom. You can see the hard drive shows up as SCSI ID #0 and the...

I have been using Scsi for decades. Its not a termination issue. Its a software issue.

I have an Apple IIgs with a Scsi card and I want to get a Cdrom working with it. This computer has a scsi harddrive with GS-OS 6.0.4 it boots to. I have a known working External Apple 300 CDrom drive I am trying to use but I also have a couple 3rd party external scsi cdroms as well. I loaded the...

Interesting. I never owned a PDS video card.

Completely unrelated but what is meant to connect the the strange tiny connector at J7? I see this on a bunch of boards and have no idea what its for.

This is good stuff David thank you. I will run these tests.

Honestly I have no problem removing an SMD IC like this. But my track record with sound chips failing on old macs makes me not want to touch it. Too many color classic repairs and pulling chips on and off. Ill just run it until the issue presents again.

it could be crud, like I said its pretty clean and i used deoxit with a toothbrush and I dont see anything.

Ok this is weird. The sound just came back. After about 3 or 4 restarts from doing the PRAM reset. I could be wrong but it sounds slowed down to me but its there.

I did the work. And like I mentioned the sound was working up until this year. Then one day it was just silent.

Ok So I tried headphones and I do get sound out via the audio out. There is a hot popping though almost as if there is a short. I tried the PRAM reset in excess of 11 times and it still makes no sound via internal speaker. Board was cleaned pretty well. This board didnt have much residue as...
