And.... it doesn't work. 2x 800MB partitions (in a 4GB CF card) with 6.0.8 in the first and 7.1 in the second.  The SE/30 boots 6.0.8 with no problems. But ignores my attempts to boot 7.1. I'm going to try the following next: 1. Re-install 7.1 from floppies. I'd copied the 7.1 system folder...

I used LIDO to partition the drive. It defaulted to using the max for 6.0.8 ~2GB. Then I manually created a second partition in the remaining space. Both partitions types are Apple_HFS. So partition 0 is Apple_Partition_map Partition 1 is Apple_Driver Followed by Partition 2 which is the...

I had to answer the original question myself last year when I landed a Mac Plus and then got a Power Mac G3 Beige to get software onto 800K floppies. I found that: a. Yes, you can write 800k floppies on the G3's superdrive b. The floppies can even boot on the Mac Plus c. But if you then...

That's a neat trick. I'll try it out. At the least, it will save some grinding on the boot drive: I have only 1MB and it looks like parts of the OS gets reloaded every now and then.

I just joined this forum for the explicit reason that I can't get my scsi2sd set up (ver 5) to boot my 1MB Mac Plus either.  I've tried plain HD SC Setup (after faking scsi2sd to appear to be an Apple drive), LIDO and both System 6.0.3 and 6.0.8. Booting either of these 2 versions of System 6...
