    Because someone has other jobs too. To make sure that some noob (this is not personal, btw) doesn't come back to this forum bad mouthing drive manufacturers or applications after his quick button pressing exercise and major @#ck-up afterwards. Seriously, if you have to ask these questions, you...

    Aha! I suspected something similar, but we haven't arrived there yet.. (one step at the time) :-) It's nice that you've got it working in a "quick and dirty" way, but don't jump to conclusions too soon. Hard Disk Toolkit is very powerfull application, but as I mentioned before, it defaults...

    Help diagnose an LC problem

    Two are better than one? He he.. Yes, it could be done, but, better yet: 1. Use desoldering wick. 2. Practice a lot on scrap boards. 3. Read this article. http://www.daycounter.com/Articles/Solder-Surface-Mount-Parts.phtml

    By the way, here are the test results of PQI IDE Disk On Module on Pentium II MoBo under DOS I did some time ago. I replaced the boot drive with Flash drive on that specific system and also was surprised to see the performance loss. Pay attention on how access times increase with increased...

    CF AztecMonsters have landed

    So do I, but the cause has to be isolated first. Just what I thought... You really have to try ATTO benchmarking utility and take measurements before and after changes, to be certain. Maybe the test has to be done on faster Mac, just to be sure that it's not the SE/30's SCSI controller, that's...

    Follow up - Hard Disk Toolkit is known to revert to very conservative driver settings when dealing with "unsupported" drives. I had to set these manually many times in the past. In any case: 1. "Auto bad block reallocation" slows the drive down slightly (almost unnoticable). 2. "Verify...

    That is BULL, Spartacus, RTFM! Do you have application called "Hard Disk Toolkit™" on your hard drive, no matter which version? If answer is "Yes", 1. Start it 2. In main window, click on "Device view" tab 3. Double click on the line with your hard drive, or 4. from the menu "Devices"...

    Spartacus, Please, DO NOT CONFUSE other readers and check your facts before posting. > :( I was referring to Hard Disk Toolkit application's "Configure driver" window and NOT to application FWB Configure. THIS ONE!

    Some more food for thoughts... 1. Have you configured / optimised your driver? 2. How does Aztec monster behave? Like SCSI drive or like IDE drive? When you go to Configure drive dialog in FWB, the window should look similar to these two. (I took screenshots of 4.5.2 version, but, I think...

    PEx ROM Project

    Ok, thanks for clarifying that! I know that some ROMs, PICs etc can be copy protected, so I thought there might be something going on in the process of copying PEx ROM, that you're not aware.

    PEx ROM Project

    Could it be, perhaps, something similar to this case? http://lowendmac.com/coventry/06/apple-ii-clones.html Full story here: http://folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=Stolen_From_Apple.txt By that I mean, that it is quite possible that the ROM is somehow protected and...

    There are several factors involved re. SCSI performance. I won't start posting everything yet, let's start with this one - have you tried ATTO Express Pro Tools benchmarking utility instead of FWB? Here's a bit info on it and many pictures with examples how to interpret the data...

    LC slot card. What is it?

    Have another coffee, Trash80toHP_Mini, and wake up [:D] ]'> All ICs, that have dates stamped on them, are clearly visible in the pictures. All are from '91. LC was introduced at the end of '90, if I'm not mistaken. This card is definitely not a prototype and didn't come from some secret...

    LC slot card. What is it?

    BTW, if you poke around here: http://web.archive.org/web/19970329132108/http://www.microconversions.com/ you can still download Micro Conversions NuBus and PDS 1.1.4 drivers and brochures. I did it already.

    LC slot card. What is it?

    I think, I got this covered too. One chip on the board has 'custom' markings, namely: MICRO CONV ICD2042MPC 9132MAB D Could that be some "Micro Conversions" video card? If so, does it need a driver and are there any around? And what kind of monitor connects to that 9 pin connector?
