BlueSCSI Questions for Mac Plus

[silvi89UD]

Hi good morning!! I’ve been tried for some days the plus and works well!!! Thank you very much 4 your help! Very precious! I’ve also two questions:
- The 4,5V battery keeps clock and some user settings. I’haven’t the battery. There is an application maybe that provides to save settings ( such as desktop image) on sd card?
- does System OS reading videos ( maybe 6 or 7 ) ?
Thanks!

Hello,
about the settings... no, as far as I know
about the video... I don't think a Plus can play video. Maybe you can look at this...

I just got the BlueSCSI to work, I have a plus that I want to map several drives to. I managed to find one boot HDA file and created an empty 20Mb file (in windows disk jockey), I got both to work. But if I put any "bigger" HDA file I downloaded (that contains many apps) the Mac hangs when I boot.

Can the plus just use 20Mb drives, or does it require a special format?
Can I create 7 20Mb images to load data on to?
Or how big drives is possible to create?

I managed to create a 1000Mb empty disk with DiskJockey for Win. I though still not figured out if there is an easy way to either use pre-made HDA files (that seem to hang if I put them on the card) or work with partitions on a PC. I guess the premade HDAs are made with a tool/format not compatible with MacPlus?

Is the way to run an emulator on the PC and mount the empty HDA file?

Did you manage to boot with some other image?
The Plus is quite finicky with the BlueSCSI... and probably won't like having more than one image in the SD.
You can mount the HDA with Basilisk. First thing with an image made with DiskJockey would be to format it from Basilisk.

I now managed to make images with diskjockey, boot a partitions I found pre-made with a system, put several images on the same card. I ran basilisk to fill the image with content (transfer files) on the PC. But when I ran Dark Castle, the computer crashed and now it wont boot again (boots but gets an error and get stuck).

Are there any don'ts with the plus, like not having too big partititions, running certain system versions etc?

I have a LC475 (performa) that has network card and 1.44 diskdrive that I will use as a transfer machine to the outer world, but it would be convenient to be able to smoothly transfer files to and from the plus stand alone...

I guess the image got corrupted after the crash... There are many versions around of Dark Castle and not all work when running from HD...
2GB is the maximum drive image size you should use to have maximum compatibility with system 6, which is what I'd use with a Plus (i.e. 6.0.8) apart of that, I can't say much more.
