Color Classsic II and SCSI2SD

Just want to verify that someone else got this working...First try didnt work...anyone there that has done it...any configuration changes to get it working on the scsi2sd tools.

 
I removed my original hard drives and bought SCSI2SD units from Inertial Computing - a 5.1 internal model and a 5.5 external model - and they worked out of the box on my Color Classic and Color Classic II.   Later, I went in with the tools to change the SCSI ID and things but mine worked out of the box.  I used balenaEtcher in Windows to copy a 1GB System 7.5.5 minimal boot image I found online to the MicroSD Card then booted from it and did an install full installation from CD-ROM.  I did notice some weirdness about which MicroSD card I used - the SCSI2SD adapter seemed to be a bit particular for me or else balenaEtcher was flaky.  Either way, all works for me now.

Good luck.
