Hi John, tried lido and Apple HD SC and just get an error 5 after 3 sets of 6 flashes on the HDD’s LED indicator followed by the drive spooling itself down so it’s definitely not happy. i’m kind of out of options with this one, there’s a few videos online about reviving these old full hight...

Hi Dochilli, i could give it a try i have nothing to loose otherwise it’s bin fodder. It does start up and run, do i run whilst open or just open it move the read head and put it back together to test? neal

I moved into a new built house and that came with fibre to the house itself and a Huawei fibre router built in and that simply wouldn’t work for me on my older macs but I did find a relatively cheap 4 way half duplex switch from ebay for £12 and than run that from a mains ethernet extender to my...

I say i’d like the classic hardware but reality is SCSI2SD is probably much more stable.

No. I want sd options yes but really it’s classic

You’re right but no i want classy hardware 

Hi LaPorto, No not really i doubt there’s any data on it i  just wanted some extra storage in a vintage style (its an exact fit under the compact Mac) and as i have used a fair amount of the 1gb Internal drive within my SE/30, having the extra 2.4gb for software and games is what i was after. I...

Hi Dochilli, it definitely tries to boot from the external first even with the scsi set higher than the internal id which is set at 0.  I’m more used to ide drives so opened them up thinking a misplaced jumper pin was the cause yet scsi doesn’t have those as i found out after taking my se/30...

Bit of background and picture. I’m not sure of the age of the drive (brought it off eBay). When i cleaned out the dust i i was surprised it was a full size HHD i believe 5.25 inch 2.4gb but has limited information on it anywhere. It weighs a ton though and takes several seconds to spoil up...

Hi guys, thank you both i’ll try those tonight. Yes its terminated with a 50pin terminator plug. does it matter if you plug the scsi into the top or bottom connector on the back of the HHD (both are unlabelled) and I’ve plugged computer into the top scsi port and terminated at the bottom...

Hi guys, following on from my scsi chain external HHD issue (the system attempted to load from the external drive over ruling my internal HHD be it unsuccessfully). Trash recommended SCSI probe utility software thinking it maybe simply a SCSI channel conflict, as it turns out the utility...

I have one of those twisted pair adaptors and a full shiver card so slightly different setup that said I needed the driver as well as a half duplex switch to get my se/30 networked and online. These are old cards with obsolete protocols so it simply wouldn’t work directly from my modern router...

Thanks Crutch, i will try it out :)

Same as any security measure if they really want to steal it with determination and balls they will. About 10 years ago at the British motor show a team of people in vw overalls stripped a VW Golf (vw rabbit in usa) to a shell in front of millions of people and they were purely thieves, never...

Fingers crossed! You’re in the right place... i keep looking and reading the latest so I’m hopeful for you :)  I’m afraid I have limited knowledge myself so just try and take it all in

Happy Christmas guys, i hope you fix the accelerator :)

Hi trash, quick question if i may, i setup my se/30 and the bunch of scsi peripherals today as my 50pin scsi cables arrived. So far I’ve not had chance to setup my bridge computer or 2001 imac so haven’t been able to download the scsi probe software yet, hopefully all being well i’ds be able to...

You’re state side that will be why, shame. I’m tempted myself but have no use for it. Apart from it being cool

I will do. I’m Just waiting for a few 50pin scsi cables to arrive as i had stripped my system apart last weekend for its annual clean and To add in a few extra bits like scanner, external hhd, a few CD-ROMs, zip drive, printer, graphics tablet, joystick etc then realised I didn’t have enough...
