Hi folks. I reassembled my SE after retr0brighting it and noticed the 2mb floppy drive wasn’t accepting disks or ejecting properly. A disk got stuck on the way out. I could hear it making normal drive noises though. I realized I had not installed it 100% correctly and it was sitting a bit high...

I assume you’re referring to the 2GB “volume” image provided by savagetaylor vs the 6.0.8 “disk” images (which are 800kb or 1.44mb a piece). Yes I understand the difference between those.

Uhh, I think so, but enlighten me just in case ;)

I have a Mac SE FDHD running 6.0.8 with 2MB of RAM. Could try to bump this to 4MB and move to 7.5.3+ if I must to achieve what I want. I now have a good sized collection of .dsk and .img images on my SCSI2SD. MountImage and DiskCopy and DiskDup+ don't seem to recognize them. I could write...

So I think I figured out what the issue with my Windows-created boot disks was. There are both 800k 6.0.8 System Tools images (set of 4) and 1.44mb images (set of 2). I think was trying to write the 800k images to 1.44mb disks. I just tried to create new diskettes from the 1.44mb images and it...

An update for you all! I cleaned the floppy drive a little bit but it was already in good shape. I used a 800kb 6.0.8 System Tools diskette (from eBay) and got a Happy Mac right away. Booted. Swapped to my own 1.44mb System Tools disk and got a “this disk has errors would you like to repair?”...

Thank you all for the quick responses. - I will take the G3 out of storage and try to make some disks with that instead using DiskCopy. I have gotten it on the internet but it’s not an easy affair. I will use a modern Macbook Pro to format a flash drive and copy disk image files to the G3 in...

And thank you for the warm welcome :)

Using a Windows machine with a usb floppy drive. SCSI2SD was set with default settings mostly, single SCSI drive with ID 0. Tried all of the recommendations here too (Apple quirks mode, Set the vendor to the string “QUANTUM”, Set the product ID to the string “FIREBALLX”, where X is a number...

Hi all. I'm new here. I have a Mac SE FDHD that used to boot from the internal HDD. Sometimes. It was getting flaky. So I purchased a SCSI2SD v5.1 and connected it and applied some disk images from savagetaylor's blog using dd to no avail. The SCSI2SD lights up, is being fed power (have...
