Thank you, I'll keep you posted on this thread once I've tried to run off DC6. Onward! //mdent23

Hello all, I wanted to hear your thoughts on this; I recently acquired a recapped SE/30 (which as of this past weekend is now using a CF card for solid state storage and super-fast startup!) The machine is beautiful, but what has proven a mixed blessing is the damage to the plastic of the...

Haven't tried it with Disk Copy 6, will do so as well as trying to run directly from the expanded image. max1zzz, I do have a USB floppy drive a TiBook running Tiger that plays nice with Mac OS Standard formatting too so this is another avenue to try out. Didn't even think of the dd command...

Hello All, Would anyone be willing to provide an image file for System 7 Tune-Up 1.1.1? I'm running 7.0.1 on my SE/30 and would like to patch it up before continuing to update to 7.5.5. I have found image files but they're all 800k and I am unable to use them with Disk Copy to write them to a...

Paralel, if this is the case, could it have contributed to the reason that the Quantum drive failed?? The seller noted stiction in the hard disk when I bought the machine; I cracked the case open to check for the notorious disintegrating rubber loops that the head will stick to but they were in...

Excited to have CF storage working on my SE/30; now it's on to Ethernet... : )

Hello again All, SUCCESS!!! I can finally breathe easy after a couple months of fingernail-biting Mac-life-support-limbo... I will detail the solution below for anyone interested, hopefully this will help others with CF card issues in the future as well. (LINKS marked throughout and included...

Thank you for your input Elfen. I think this was just a misspell on the part of takimoto. I did indeed buy a 4 GB "SanDisk" card from Amazon ( SanDisk Extreme CompactFlash 4 GB Memory Card 40MB/s SDCFX-004G-X46 ) so I can assure you it is genuine. As of yesterday I have solved this issue (which...

Bought the terminator. Will keep you all posted with results. // mdent23

You're talking about a DB-25 male connector, correct? I found this: http://bit.ly/1XFp6UY If appropriate, I will buy it and give it a shot.

UPDATE: I was able to create a 6.0.8 + Lido boot disk with no problem. Now I am encountering an error when running Lido to format/partition the CF card, to the effect of "Arbitration failed! Check all SCSI device connections and terminations). I have ensured that the cable is properly...

Thank you all for your help. I did some digging in the meantime and found a device called Mac ROM-inator II (http://www.bigmessowires.com/mac-rom-inator-ii/) that allows the SE/30 to boot from a custom ROM chip, thereby allowing me to use floppies, since the FD wouldn't be occupied by a boot...

Trying to get my SE/30 back to tip-top shape : /

Hello all, I acquired a recapped SE/30 about a year ago. All was well until early this year when the notorious Quantum hard disk failed. The machine shipped with System 6.0.8 and before this failure I had already purchased a USB floppy drive and floppies to create install disks (using a TiBook...
