RaSCSI: install DaynaPORT drivers without floppy disk?

[Nixontheknight]

I had to remake my RaSCSI install because the SD card I was using died because of the heat generated in my Macintosh Classic, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to install the DaynaPORT drivers without a disk without it failing to recognize the digital disk and asking for the physical one (which I don't have any). How would I be able to do this?

Download the RaSCSI bootstrap image and attach it to your Mac. It has the DaynaPORT drivers in it: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/rascsi-68kmla-edition

tried that

...and it didn't work?

Anyhow, it's a known issue that the DaynaPort installer can be very picky. This Mac84 video covers most pitfalls very well. Have a look; it might unblock you.

I was able to fix it by using my LC III

Just got my 1st RaSCSI set up. I'm very impressed. Thanks for this link, I think I'll try the DaynaPORT drivers tomorrow

Ok guts, before I go crazy, I have the RaSCSI working great as a disk/ multiple disks, but the daynaport is giving me hell

I have created 2 disks with the network tools and Daynaport installers in raw/40MB disk files. I named them after the floppies the installers expected and I have installed everything pretty well

At this point I can ping the RaSCSI from the SE, and I can ping the SE from terminal on the RaSCSI. But if I try actual traffic, even pings, only outgoing works. Nothing makes it back to the SE. I can run topdump and see the pings headed out, and even the replies sent toward the SE, but it won't receive packets. Anyone else run into this?
