Hello! I tried googling this issue to no resolution so I thought I may give you fine folks a shot. I am in the process of restoring a Color Classic I acquired about a month ago. It was quite a steal at $80, but has given me headaches that I'm still in the process of fixing. I have already recapped the logic board, and the analog board is next. The internal edge connector has also been replaced, as has the floppy drive. The last lingering issue is the CRT has color issues. I thought it was a degauss issue but it appears to be more likely the analog board after a thorough degaussing.
Anyhow, as I am finishing up my restoration (this is the most work I've done on one so far, still a bit of a novice), I decided it might be time to look into a new HDD. The old HDD in the Color Classic seemed to be on its last legs as it would hesitate to boot and was louder than a 747. I went with a SCSI2SD v6, as it seemed to be compatible and has the features I'm looking for. I've since mounted it and cannot for the life of me get an OS to install on it. I've initialized and re-initialized several times, termination is on, and the SCSI ID is set to 0. The size of the disk I've created is only 200 MB as well. The most common issue that pops up is a copying issue where the System 7 installer will note that it can't copy over an existing system file and to delete the system file and try again. Keep in mind this is a freshly initialized disk! I've tried installing via CD-ROM, Zip disk, etc. I've tried to image the drive as well, which did work but future installations fail with a similar error.
Has anyone had this issue? If so, is there any resolution that anyone is aware of? Thanks for any help provided.
