I am arriving late at the (thread) party, but so to say, there are at least a couple offers here on the board, for new IIfx SIMMs and I bought 128Mb from one with total satisfaction and reasonable price.

Here we go with some results: the Sony SMO-F551 worked with Disk Drive Tune-Up 3.41 out of the box, without even installing any extension, with both SCSI external enclosures - so it was definitely the first drive (Sony SMO-F541) which was somehow faulty. Anyone interested in getting it? ;) I...

thanks for all the support @Udo.Keller , @MrFahrenheit and @zefrenchtoon (btw your card is on the way! :D ) -I will spend some time on this tomorrow... meanwhile I got another scsi box and a SMO-F551, so now I will try all the possible combinations to see if it's the box, the drive or the...

yes black terminator for IIfx is plugged to the second plug of the scsi box with the MO drive.

Need to do this sooner or later....

After a more detailed check, here are the results with several formatters: Fujitsu MO Formatter: says device cannot be handled Pinnacle Formatter: does not recognize the device as removable MO TuneUp v. 2.06 (with its extension installed): does recognize the device but waits for media even if...

this is from the SMO F551 manual: any hint? :D thanks

Meanwhile I took the drive out of the enclosure and I am noticing two sets of dip switches at the end of it... everything was set ON and I couldn't find a manual online - I found the f551 manual which has its own switch infos and I am thinking about trying to fiddle a bit with them, but I am...

I will check the software version but I am quite sure I did and it said the drive is unsupported. I will let you know anyway.

these disks are double sided, so the max size is 1.3gb per side... it should be within limits, but I am installing 7.5 to give it a try anyway.

Hello everybody, I am fighting with a Sony SMO - F541 drive in an external SCSI enclosure: the drive is seen in the SCSI chain on my 7.1.1 IIfx (with the proper "black terminator"), but it seems to be unsupported: I tried all the software mentioned here in the thread to format some 2.6Gb disks...

I missed this, now I am reading it and I think this would be the best news for the new year @WillJac @warmech TashTwenty Mega will be a huge it :D

That would be great for soldering-impaired like me 😎

Maik actually answered, and shared this interesting link where pinout of the 9pin plug is explained: http://longview.be/mirograph-chroma-v33a.html

Hi everybody, I bought a dead IIfx for parts, and I found a few cards inside, among which a Miro Prisma Plus video card. I found old threads where @Bolle shared drivers archived on Maik site mirosupport.com (I found the site before the threads, so I wrote Maik myself and I am curious to see if...

Answering to myself but it might be useful for other users: on Mac Garden there are images of the MS-DOS C: drive file (10 or 20 megs) already set up, so that solved the drive issue - but what really did the trick was using System 6 (6.07 to be precise, the last localized version AFAIK) because...

This is great but when the hardware will be ready (and I would gladly buy a PowerBook unit, plus the possible Portable version!) I will need some clear instruction because I am a bit lost now 😅 - why the Linux PC now? 🤨🤔

I tried with a similar button battery holder, the one keeping batteries horizontally /parallel to the logic board, and my IIfx would not power up, while oldstyle batteries worked. I thought it was because button batteries in fact provide a little less power, but your experience seems to prove me...

Hi everybody, I am kind of crossposting this from another thread, so sorry if I am breaking some rule - I got one of the excellent Mac286 replica cards made by @max1zzz and I am trying to figure out how to make it work. Max was so kind to add in the package the Mac software disks and even the...

BTW it seems we all missed this. I think one of my cards has an oscillator which detached... should I change it? with a faster one maybe?
