Some Macs, like the Mac IIsi, only have a power LED indicator on the front case and no LED indicator for HDD activity (unlike say in the SE/30). This is despite most HDDs or SCSI 2 CF or SD modules having LED out plugs that go nowhere inside these cases. Is it possible to buy or make a 2 Colour...

Just following up on this after some further testing which produced some interesting results. Testing: Since last post I have:  - acquired a CD/DVD lens cleaner and used it on the Apple CD 300e and Apple CD 600e x 2* drives.  - *acquired another Apple CD 600e (in case the one I had did have a...

Thanks Elfen, I'll give a few of those suggestions a go (note, am already using SCSI2SD rather than HDDs, and tried removing the FDD when I had the Asante issue, so possibly the PSU is right at the bottom mark. ) These have 64MB or 32MB, so might try dropping down to 16MB or 8MB. Again, is...

Tried on 7.5.5 SE/30 and a SE/30 7.1.2. Given all the options I have tried re: ID and termination, I am leaning towards this being something that just doesn't boot from an SE/30. Though even if it is seen as removable media, why does the CF card as ID=0 boot ok when it's in an ext (old 80sC)...

I have tried a Daystar Digital Turbo 040 (33Mhz) on my SE/30 with the TwinSpark SE/30 adapter and got the same screen image as you did. Tried it on 2 different SE/30s, one recapped by Uniserver, another recapped by the previous owner (iw. wire running from a UE8 leg to a nearby chip), but I got...

Elfen Thanks for the great summary post (Bunsen, can that single post go up as a sticky somewhere, or cut'n'paste and moved to top of a new thread?) Separately, I am having a weird issue where I can boot an AztecMonster SCSI-CF with 1GB compact flash (so no 2gb issues here!) in my external HDD...

Found this post about adjusting the magnets to fix some screen issues elsewhere (indeed, I stumbled into the 68kmla Flickr site - no action in 3 years! - probably more a reflection of Flickr than 68kmla!). While this may not impact the foldover of the image on the monitor, it might help fix the...

Ta, am aware of the ID issue, but both the box and the board have ID settings it seems, so that might be in part the issue, if they differ!. While I agree "You should provide termination" the AztecMonster has "active termination" per Artmix' site/ebay listing - which I take to mean I don't need...

Hi, I recently acquired as part of a bundle of macs, a CMS external HDD case, just like this one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CMS-Stack-3-Vintage-Hard-Drive-External-SCSI-For-Apple-Macintosh-Series-/151552664251 It had a Aztecmonster CF adapter and 1GB card in it but I can't get the Mac to see the...

Welcome to 68kmla! And a great choice on starting your retro Mac career with a SE/30!! I have over the last few months restarted my retro Mac collection, with an SE/30, and the people here are a great help. My SE/30 setup is coming together now with an Asante ethernet card, SCSI2SD (SD card...

Could be the fat16 format per the spec for SDSC, versus fat32 for SDHC & SDXC cards? Personally generally seen up to 4gb SD(SC) but found compatibility issues with them, and only early 1GBs were fine. Per this summary, seems the sizes are not relevant. The SCSI2SD takes SDXC and that...

Hey, thanks everyone. Am feeling I am asking a lot but it's one of those 'it seems so close' that I don't want to give up on it. It's also totally baffling (at least I think it's not a simple stupid mistake that I'd be embarrassed about!). I'll try a few of those ideas over the weekend and...

Not crazy. I did check it, even took a picture with my iPhone 6, though I didn't upload the picture to the site because (i) it looked fine as I could site all the three rows of pins (female on PDS looked fine too) and (ii) was having such dramas with getting hi-res images on this site (how do...

The Asante Network Card works fine, on the Internet with OpenTransport 1.1.2, just the vertical lines in the earlier image. As the issue only comes up when the card is in the SE/30, I think the card is fine and it's gotta be a MB issue. While I had that professionally recapped and tested, I am...

I quite like the SCSI2SD (set up on Mac OSX via usb cable, then pop it into a SE/30 and install the System Software and you're away!!). In your case, it was popping it into the external HDD and it not working that set you off (had similar issues when I tried to backup my HDD from ext HDD to the...

Wow - what's the go with the images on here! Can't you see anything? I followed the upload steps in My Gallery, including 'Review and Publish' and the images are supposed to be 'Public'... How are you supposed to insert images into your responses then!!??? In my post editor, right now, I can...

Elfen, I booted it up and played with a few desktops (white is white, single pixels on white becomes a few pixels wide on white etc. Vertical Stripes has no echo until you move it so that it lines up with the 7th pixel, then it goes 2 pixels wide like the desktop. Image is pre-move (you can see...

Pretty sure you need an external terminator on your ext drive where the SCSI2SD card is. I think that's your problem!! See this explanation: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/scsi4.htm As I recall it, the terminators on the SCSI2SD board probably helps when it's sitting on its own in the SE/30...

Pretty sure that when I put the SCSI2SD in the ext 80SC drive I also had an external terminator plug in the second SCSI port to make it work. Did you have that? This might explain why you can't see it in the ext drive. (I think the self-termination is only relevant if it's in the SE/30 on its...
