Patched Hard Disk .HDA File for Blue SCSI System 8.1 for the SE/30?

[Kevinlenane]

Has anyone created an image for the SE/30 w a Rominator in it that has the patching that enables it to work with System 8.1 and 7.5.3? Ive comfortable recapping and creating images but I can just tell im going to screw this up somehow. Anyway, if anyone has those one or both images that work with the various Hack Roms id be very appreciative!

I'll try to get one working tonight, shouldn't be too bad to do and will give me an excuse to fire up the SE/30!

Yeah there are instructions on the web on getting 8.1 working w a Rominator or other non-stock ROM but I fiddled my brain to mush earlier this week trying to get other SCSI solutions to work. I'll send you something cool if you can get it working!

Should just need the Born Again 1.1 patch, when creating the 8.1 install that will be used with the ROM SIMM... 7.5.3 runs on a bone stock SE/30, so no patching needed for that one.

Hi. I'd be interested too in this image if it's available.
I could patch mi 7.5.5 image to use the ROMinator and testing 8.1 would be quite cool

Well... Checking this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_Mac_OS#Mac_OS_8
I wonder if that's even possible, as it says here that it requires a 68040

EDIT: I saw now about "Born Again"... So if anyone has such image, definitely I'd like to know.
Thanks!

EDIT AGAIN: I just found this: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/disk-image-for-se-30-w-rominator.40081/

I used it in 2001 to install 8.1 on a IIsi. Was pokey, but it worked. I did max out the RAM on said machine to 65MB, then added a larger hard drive (used a LPS270S Quantum).

It's true that 7.5.3 boots on a stock SE/30 without patching, if you use one of the 32-bit rom-simms (I use a GGLabs not Rominator, but probably the same rom in the end...) you actually do need to do a resedit patch of the System file and System Update file to get it to play nice.
