Dear all, when I wrote the post I suspected that a somehow harsh discussion could/would come out, I read many previous posts in this forum and understand that the A/UX community is somehow special. As Gorgonops (many of whose views I share) said, mac users are mainly users, maybe. Maybe there...

Hi everybody, I read the many posts on why A/UX does not run on Mac emulation, so I know the old story (no MMU , no special video, etc). But it happens that lately somebody has managed very proficently to run a 20+ years old Uniplus on Lisa emulation (after a very interesting restoration of...

Hi everybody, I have an issue with my Quadra 700 + MacOs 8.1: my second HD automounts and works fine, but doesn't boot. I attached a second HD (MAB3045SC, 4.5GB, scsi-3, 68 pin) to the scsi bus with an adapter cable, assigning id 2 to it. I formatted and partitioned it with FWB HDT 1.8...

One question: When you had this problem, could you boot from floppy? I ask because I have in my q610 a 160MB HD that does not boot, just spins a little and then stops. But I cannot boot from floppy... I only wanted to know if it was the same case and getting a new HD with Macos on it would...

I kept a whole day the pram battery out of the motherboard, but no way it starts up, sadly. The termination was ok, from what I can see. Anyway a bad termination should make a bad signal propagation, not fry out any decent circuit, I suppose... Even if in that very moment I was reeeally mad...

No, not at all! The pram battery is brand new from the shop. At the moment of the problem I was actually using the mac with that battery. In the last period it was a little bit inestable: it sometimes stopped suddenly during the boot or during the running of some software. I wanted to do a...

Hallo everybody, I was adding new devices to my old Quadra 610 (with 7.5.1 installed). I connected a Quantum ST2.1S HD and after a little I was able to initialize it and get it mounted as scsi id 1. Then I took this HD out and connected a AppleCD 300i as scsi id 3. I could not recognise it...

Thanks everybody for your answers to my questions! Even if nobody wants to speak about openbsd (it must be real bad! > :) , I still would like to get any hint on dual boot. From what I read in the netbsd booter manual, it is seems to be a macos executable that can be launched in any moment...

Hallo everybody, since some months a new idea appeared in my mind: bring back to life my old Quadra 610. It has been down almost uninterruptedly since the 90', but there are still in its hd some important files to me and some interesting sw, that I would like to undust. I started browsing...
