Hi there!
I've got a Macintosh 512K that would seem to be upgraded to a 512Ke (its internal floppy can read 800K disks).
Now, it also has a SCSI port sticking out of the area of the battery compartment, which I am led to believe is probably a Dove MacSnap upgrade, right? Unfortunately I don't have the requisite Torx driver (and I'm also a bit wary of breaking anything), so I haven't cracked the case open.
Now, didn't those upgrades increase the RAM in the machine? When I boot System 6.0.8 (in the "Minimum Software for a Mac Plus" install), the computer reports it has 512K total memory. Could this be?
More importantly, how do I get SCSI support working? When I attach a Hard Disk 20SC (which boots my Mac SE without a hitch) to the battery-compartment SCSI port, it is not recognized by the 512k(e), and certainly won't attempt to boot from it. When I fire up Apple HD SC Setup, it tells me "This program will only work on a Macintosh which has a SCSI connector."
Am I missing an INIT that makes the system recognize the SCSI port? Some other piece of software? Any ideas how I can get the SCSI support working? It would be great to have a hard disk hooked up to the old thing.
Thanks very much!
