Moving this post to its own thread, I originally added it to an existing post on a related topic and probably few people will see it there.
I have a Performer clone I built that works fine in my SE, and I recently installed it in my Plus. The machine works fine booting from my BlueSCSI v1.1 without the accelerator drivers installed, when I install the drivers (I have tried GemStart 2.2 and 3.0) the machine freezes as soon as I try to do anything (copy a file, open the control panel, etc.) Based on this experience along with the info in this thread, it sounds like maybe BlueSCSI is just not compatible with an accelerated plus. Does anyone have any idea if any of the other SCSI emulator solutions will work with an accelerated Plus? Floppy Emu also does not play nice with accelerators, so at the moment I don't have a way to use this machine accelerated. Unfortunately the floppy drive in this machine does not work, it probably needs at least a cleaning, and I have not had a chance to try that yet. I suspect it would work fine booting from a floppy with the drivers, but I cannot confirm at the moment. Does anyone know if the BlueSCSI v2 has the same compatibility issues?
The Plus has the diode mod and the BlueSCSI is powered off the SCSI bus. The BlueSCSI has the correct Plus .ini file in the root folder. I am running System 6.0.8. The analog board is freshly recapped, and with the accelerator installed and BlueSCSI hooked up I am seeing 5.2v and 12.7v, so I don't think there is an issue with low power.
Any help would be much appreciated!
