Willing to pay someone for a mac plus system...

[Branyolo33]

So long story short I have the raSCSI and it's kind of rough getting it online with the dayna port emulation. I have a Macintosh Plus with 4mb of ram. Could someone possibly make a system 6.0.8 with a .hda extension with all the network tools installed, the raSCSI daynaport setup (github) has all the required software you need but it's a pain I tried for 12 hours yesterday. You need macTCP patched to 2.1 and dayna port 7.5.3 drivers installed as well and an old web browser and network tools. Thanks you, also any help is welcome too

Count me in for some $$$$ I have the same need.
A nice 200MB HDA with all the network tools installed

What are the "network tools"? I see no mention in the RaSCSI wiki, are they the MacTCP configuration tools?

Yes a functional TCP stack that works with a Mac plus 6.0.8 and a RaSCSI

This image is 224 MB and has System 6.0.8 installed. I used Network Software Installer 1.4.4, because 1.5.1 as specified on the RaSCSI wiki requires System 7.

I installed AppleTalk 58.1.3 and all the EtherTalk and TokenTalk drivers. The drivers probably aren't needed, but they're there anyway. MacTCP has been patched to version 2.1, and I installed all the DaynaPORT drivers and servers. I also put MacWWW on there, but it's apparently quite terrible---there's no other browsers for System 6.0.8 though.

I did not configure MacTCP because I set this up in Mini vMac. For all I know, it doesn't work, but I think the software is set up correctly. Try it out, and let me know.

Finally, it's in ".dsk" format (disk image for mounting in Mini vMac). I don't know if that's compatible with RaSCSI or as a .hda file, but maybe...? Again, try it out. The link below expires after 5 downloads or 7 days.

yes tried it and no joy thanks for trying!

Is there a way to create a .hda image file from a DiskCopy image or from a mounted DiskCopy volume on a real Mac?

 

[karrots]

The drive will be missing the driver partitions. Mini vMac doesn't require them.

 

[MrFahrenheit]

I'm just wondering, because I have no way (at the moment) of using .hda images, but I do have the ability to put software onto a bootable 6.0.8 disk on a real Mac. Is this something that needs to be accomplished using an emulator, or could it be done from a real Mac?

 

[karrots]

RaSCSI is just using a file as a raw disk. The only way to do this with a real Mac would be to have an RaSCSI or BlueSCSI and format a drive then make the image.

The way Mini vMac works with drives is it basically treats them as very large floppy drives. This is why there is no driver partitions or partition map.

From this it looks like you can mount them in Basilisk II or MAMR and transfer things over to a image with the partition map.

Also you should be able to download the bootstrap image a d the 6.0.8 image from here mount them both and do what you need.
