Do you have a date for that source code, or at least a year?

Suggested experiment: Attach the drive's SCSI cable only. Power on the Mac SE/30. When the question-floppy icon appears, plug the power cable into your SCSI drive. Report back what happens.

There's also an unsit in C which compiles and runs on Unix/Linux systems.

There are some magic numbers and constant strings in StuffIt archives that serves to identify the version that created the archive. The problem is that the older versions of StuffIt Expander don't always know about these magic numbers that came later on.

Someone sends/gives you a disk with StuffIt on it.

When you say "via software," you're probably referring to the Mac SE and newer machines which use the Startup CDEV to set the boot device, and retain this setting in PRAM.

Maybe. Depends on if you believe in hot-plugging or not. ADB is not supposed to be hot-plugged, but I've done it and had it work. But I've also ruined a Mac LC ADB port by hot-plugging. The keyboard port on a Mac 512K or Plus is probably not supposed to be hot-plugged either, but I've done it...

Post here if your Mac thought it was 1920 instead of 2020. :-P My Mac 512K with System 2.0/Finder 4.1 recognizes that it's 2020, but my SE/30 with 7.5.3 thinks it's 1920.

Look at the value of address register A0. It is 80F80000. Probably there is a JMP (A0) instruction immediately preceding, and A0 is getting loaded with the wrong destination address. On the 68000, the stack grows down toward memory location 0. I would check your SP to see which subroutines were...

Yep. Usually what I do is wait for whatever replacement part to arrive in the mail, and during that waiting period, I do not switch on the Macintosh.

Because the ROMs are socketed, the solution could be as simple as reseating them.

cheesestraws, There was some AppleTalk networking code written for Unix systems back in 1984-85 at Stanford and other universities. Look up the SUMMacC, EFS, and SEAGATE projects. Towards the bottom of this AppleTalk article in the section "AppleTalk Overview" are some links to get you started...

Yep, it's by Data Technology Corporation. Here's some more info on it: https://www.mail-archive.com/cctalk@classiccmp.org/msg37467.html

I used Disk Copy 6.x on a G3 to image these disks. I don't think that it got the driver, so I'll have to make a whole-disk copy later on. I'm not sure if these disks will mount under OS X. Iomega Zip drives and hard drives all have a software driver outside the normal volume space, so it turns...

They're almost certainly not from Apple, nor development floppies. I analyzed the disks over the summer when he sent them to me and determined that in all likelihood they are public domain distribution disks from a Macintosh user's group. It was very common for pre-release software to be...

Victory! I was inspired to try fiddling with the Jasmine MegaDrive again on Saturday. To my amazement, I got the drive to show up in SCSI Probe, then a little later got the first disk cartridge to mount on the desktop. About a dozen disks were successfully copied with no I/O errors. They were...

Try here: https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=SATA%EF%BB%BF+PCI+card I don't know about drivers for these, so these may not be a practical option. You could try searching the used market for a Sonnet Tempo Serial ATA card, which has drivers for OS 9 and X.

PackBits was used to compress screen images, so they might have used that. The demo was probably written mainly in Lisa Pascal with some assembly. Right. And MacinTalk was written under contract by a 3rd party. Can't recall the name off hand.

Yep, Athens. I'd been looking at that font just a few days earlier in MacWrite. I recognized the face but got the name wrong. :p Sosumi. :p
