I’ve found a driver file, but couldn’t get it working. More details on this thread …

Update: I’ve tested v6.0.5 on an SE FDHD and I get the same error on boot? Anyway booting v6.0.8 on the SE FDHD with the Viking driver installed but not installing the Viking controller produces the same question mark on the control panel icon and the same “Sorry, the control panel cannot get...

Update: System v6.0.1 and v6.0.3 produce this error (without the driver being installed).

No problem, hopefully the attached works! I've tried to boot the machine in to v6.0.5 but it just crashes with "The System file on this startup disk may be damaged. The Installer can be used to repair this disk." even on a fresh install of v6.0.5 before I've even installed the Viking Driver, so...

Not sure if you still have this card but I just got an SE with this card and it has "Viking Driver 2.0" in the System folder. That's the good news. The bad news is that with this installed, the Viking Driver control panel complains there's not enough RAM (even when all other control panels etc...

I just got a Macintosh SE with one of these cards in it. Does anyone know it it’s possible to wire up a VGA adapter? 🤔 Also looking for drivers!

This is exactly where I’m at with my Hyperdrive 20 512k :( Only because my MiniScribe 8425 was dead I assumed the controller would be OK and bought an MFM emulator. So here I am with the same “drive needs a dealer service” error when trying to format. Looking at the MFM emulator logs the...

If I ever see one, I'll let you know!

Just noticed I've replied to you on the other thread :)

Ah, I’d have loved to take you up on that because I’m replacing my drive with an MFM emulator but I’m afraid my MiniScribe 20Mb 8425 MFM drive had suffered with an extreme case of stiction and the heads did not survive being freed. The heads have since been removed so the drive spins up freely...

Yeah, there's no way I'm spending that! 😂 Not sure exactly what's wrong with it yet. Sometimes it only detects 305 cylinders, sometimes 611. It tries to format them but only ever using head 0 and head 2 and never manages to create a drawer. I’ve been in touch with David Gesswein (who invented...

Ah, OK, thanks. Good luck with your Hyperdrive journey. This is as far as I've got :)

I know this post is old but you don’t by any chance still have the old broken Hyperdrive controller board do you? I fear mine is faulty too and am hoping to get hold of another (even another broken one for parts) to try to get mine working!

You don’t by any chance have the Hyperdrive controller board still do you? I think mine is faulty :(

I have these?
