Bear with me, I'm a linux amateur. Anyone know if this will be picked up by the package managers/distro for Raspberry Pis?

Tested the other internal 1gig jaz drive. Long story short: it is bad too. My SE/30 wouldn't ever recognize that there was a disc inserted. So that's two internal jaz drives that are bad... I wonder if they can be repaired or even combined parts into one working drive... It would probably be...

Tested the one internal 1g jaz drive as an external setup with an ATX power supply and a ribbon-to-din adapter. My Mac SE/30 properly recognized the drive and its SCSI ID (6) and even recognized that there was a disk inserted! SCSIprobe didn't report any SCSI termination issues and my other SCSI...

It definitely could be... I'm not sure how to test it definatively. The internal jaz drives are supposed to auto terminate. I did pick up a couple 3-connector 50-pin cables, so I'll try the internal drive on the middle connector and a 50-pin terminator on the end connector. I just haven't gotten...

I very much appreciate the info, RS! And even more, I _really_ appreciate your site! I've learned a lot of things from your pages. I use your System 7 image files all the time. I think I might have a pair of bad drives. I don't know why I didn't think of it, but I tried the same jaz disks in a...

Thanks JB Hmm... Interestingly, the drive is assigned a drive letter. I tried the commands in that link, and they all showed a drive, but no volumes on it. Most reported that it was a removable disk and did not have any disk/media inserted. I may try booting off a GParted live cd and...

Thanks Unknown_K, but I have the SCSI card sorted out. It's the Jaz drive that is unrecognized by Windows 10.

OK, so I finally gave up trying to get the Iomega-branded SCSI card working. I stumbled across a page on SavageTaylor's website that showed how to get an Adaptec 2900-series SCSI card working on Win10. So I bought an AHA-2940U card and followed their directions, and it works! Well... at least...

Very cool, Andrew! Have you made any further refinements to your design?

Ugh. Nevermind. I asked this same question earlier and forgot. Admin: please delete.

All fantastic ideas! Thanks gentlemen!

I just got a free and totally working iMac G4 Flat Panel (15", 800MHz). I wiped the drive and installed Tiger 10.4.6 and ran all the updates. I connects to the Internet and even opens up the Apple website! Of course, it opens Macintosh Garden... But, I'm really not familiar with these machines...

Ooooo! I'm interested in these as well. Can't wait until they're on sale. I see you're in Wales. Is there any plan to have any made across the pond (in the US) to avoid the probably expensive P&P ? Regardless, put me down as interested.

I dug around on Big Mess O Wires site a bit and found: You can't boot from floppy EMU 5.25" images while it is plugged in externally You CAN boot from Smart Drive images while plugged in externally, if you set the correct mode via text file on the EMU's config So that's what I did, and booted...

Hooray! I have ROM v3 and the built-in diags come back "System OK", which is awesome. I'm having trouble getting it to recognize my floppy EMU plugged into the external drive port. Since the IIc is working properly, I really don't want to take it apart and risk snapping any brittle plastics...
