Perhaps @imactheknife ’s card is older then and does need manual port speed set and doesn’t require Asante Instalker 5.1.2 as you’re suggesting. Mine could have been released later.

Yea you’re right because even my PowerBook 520c and my PM 8600 have them.

I’m not sure when the two that I have were released I don’t feel like opening them right now but they have RJ 45, coax, and AUI so I’ll assume they were released before twisted pair was officially accepted as the standard. In any event I have never got them to work by connecting them directly to...

With the Asante Installer 5.1.2 Installed after a fresh install of Mac OS 7.5.x I have never had a problem using classic networking or Open Transport on my Mac IIsi or Mac SE/30. I have always had a 10/100 switch between Macs and router. I've never had to manually specify port speed either. With...

I just tried the Publisher driver and it did not work on mine.

oh, wow. Someone linked the software on that page. I'll have to give it a try. Nice hunting on the article. Yes, that is the Gamma Control Panel that I meant.

Sorry for the delay, I was away. The article was from an extensive search and I believe it was the wayback machine, PC Magazine, early 1990's. I didn't bookmark it so I couldn't find it quickly. I'll keep looking. As I recall it was a big write-up about the Mac Portable, SE, SE/30 and Nubus...

I am curious which games you're planning to play? The Graphics card in eMacs isn't great. eMac were for the education sector. Here is a summary from google. The Radeon 7500 (circa 2001) is an extremely old graphics card, only capable of playing very early 2000s or late 90s games (like Unreal...

Without knowing the current Mac OS version on your 2014 Mac Mini, it's hard to say what to suggest. Assuming you are using Mac OS 10.10 Yosemite (which it shipped with) on it, you're going to have trouble because System 6 and System 7 won't connect to it using AppleTalk, but you already know...

I'm curious which type of drive you're installing to on your iMac. Also, perhaps the CD drive could use cleaning.

I’m hardly an expert but You’ll definitely need to do a complete recap and check all the traces to make sure. You could also check the ROM SIMM is not loose and is seated correctly.

I’m glad someone sent you a floppy disk with the utilities needed. Sorry it didn’t fix the issue. I’ve seen that same phase error in Lido and I believe it is due to improper termination on the SCSI drive IIRC.

The short answer is yes. If you have an external floppy disk drive for the Mac SE/30, whether an 800k drive or 1.44m drive you can boot with the disk tools floppy disk that you already used to boot the Mac with, while using a second floppy disk in the second drive loaded with the utilities that...

Lido wouldn’t have to be on the boot floppy. It could be on its own floppy and do the floppy swap. So any one of us could mail you one. I would also include the hacked version of HD SCSI Setup and SCSI Probe as well. Did you check the scsi cable for rips and bent pins in the slots? It’s really...

The Sony in my IIsi started a fire. I heard a pop and then flames and smoke. No pictures.
