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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Thanks for the suggestions. I will follow up when I have time. Gerry

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

Okay, I'm officially pissed.  I thought what I had done was fine but now I appear to have screwed myself so I need some help.  Here's what's going on. I replaced the System drive in my LC475 with an SCSI22SD version 5B and a 32GB SD card.  Of course I know I would have to partition the card and...

Good Evening all.  Since I have an SCSI2SD with 32GBs of storage on my LC475 to run OS 7.5.5 (with 136 MBs of RAM), I got rambunctious and decided to install OS 8.1 on a new miniSD card and remove the Apple IIe card and put in a Farallon LC ethernet card.  The installation went perfectly and the...

I googled this from Lifehacker: Remove the hard drive from the computer. Place the hard drive inside of a zip top freezer bag. (don't buy a cheap bag.) Place the wrapped hard drive inside of ANOTHER zip top freezer bag. (yes, you need to do this) Place the double wrapped hard drive in the...

If you want to go a completely different route, look for a SCSI2SD adapter as a drive replacement on eBay.  You can partition an miniSD card into multiple drives.  It works great in my LC475 with a 32GB miniSD card.  I installed OS 7.5.5 so I could use the Apple IIe card.  I just installed OS...

Very Cool!  Thanks for the feedback.  I forgot to ask about the best browser for a 68K Mac.  I have an LC475 with 128 MBs of RAM running 7.5.5 with a 10base-T network connection to the internet.  What's the best browser to use on this machine?  I like this Mac a lot and I love the older GUI but...
