    One PDS slot to rule 'em all... (Mac SE question)

    Mmmm, maybe I don't want to live quite that close to the bleeding edge. 4MB is okay I guess.

    What am I doing wrong w/BlueSCSI and MacPack?

    hmm my reply disappeared, let me try again. Pick the machine you want to boot. Copy everything you want to export into the "Saved HD" image. Go down to the Apple logo on the emulated monitor and pick Settings. There's an export disk image button there and it works like you'd expect, for the...

    What am I doing wrong w/BlueSCSI and MacPack?

    Pick the machine to boot. Copy everything you want to keep into the "Saved HD" disk. Go down to the Apple logo on the emulated monitor and select Settings. In there you'll see an option to "Save Disk Image". Works as described :)

    What am I doing wrong w/BlueSCSI and MacPack?

    Well, the infinitemac.org image mounted without issue, let's see if it even has what I want on it :)

    What am I doing wrong w/BlueSCSI and MacPack?

    SE has been CR2032-upgraded for PRAM battery, and startup disk is set explicitly to HD0. I know it's booting off that image because that's what mounts first. It boots as expected, shows the desktop and the relevant open folders, then flips to the spinning watch cursor while it tries to mount the...

    What am I doing wrong w/BlueSCSI and MacPack?

    Guys, I am either doing too much crack cocaine today, or not enough. Actually in my area of the world I guess the tipple of choice is meth, but my parents were dentists so that doesn't seem like a good idea to me. 1. Who mentioned a Plus, ever? Not that it makes any difference but the machine...

    What am I doing wrong w/BlueSCSI and MacPack?

    I've downloaded it twice from two sources. No dice. I really only want a newer version of MS-Word than the one I currently have. Nothing else matters :)

    What am I doing wrong w/BlueSCSI and MacPack?

    No. I want to use the bare 6.0.8 image as my base so I'm booting off that. So my SD card has: HD0-OpenRetroSCSI-6.0.8-500M.hda then I add HD1-whatever.hda System boots off HD0 and I expect to see HD1 mount whenever it gets around to it. For example I did this with a blank HD1 image so I could...

    What am I doing wrong w/BlueSCSI and MacPack?

    I am using the System 6.0.8 boot image linked from the BlueSCSI site as my primary boot. That works fine (and boots in seconds, yay solid state storage). But I want to get some applications into the image. I downloaded MacPack and renamed the vhd to hda. I put the hda on my SD card with an...

    One PDS slot to rule 'em all... (Mac SE question)

    I was looking at those just before Christmas actually :) hmmm. Tempting. I'm still maxed at 4MB RAM right?

    One PDS slot to rule 'em all... (Mac SE question)

    What's that going to do for me that my DB25 BlueSCSI doesn't already do? I looked at the announcement page for it but ... am not yet excited?

    Macintosh SE/30 replace processor MC68030RC16B to MC68030RC30C

    Again, bibles only go so far. You can't trust a guide implicitly because there are an essentiallu infinite number of potential failure modes in any device of moderate complexity. There is not and will never be a complete troubleshooting flowchart that gives you an exact answer - that's not how...

    Macintosh SE/30 replace processor MC68030RC16B to MC68030RC30C

    Probing the pins of a driven xtal circuit is always a bit problematic. See those 33pF load caps on the xtal? The scope probe can add as much as 15pF to that, which could be significant. But I would expect to see something stable on XTALOUT since it's the drive pin.
