In the on-going saga of my IIsi refurb, I picked up a new-in-box, still-in-shrink-wrap Asante MacCon MCiNB-10T. It's plugged into the IIsi's Nubus adapter card. No matter what I do, I can't get the link light on the switch to light up. I've tried every switch, new and old. I've tried going...

I scored a great deal on a 7300/200 that turns out to have an upgraded processor, ATI Rage Pro, and an OrangePC 620. That's the good news. The bad news is that plugging in the PSU resulted in sparks and smoke shooting out the back! :O I'd checked the PSU for leaky caps before, and everything...

I tried that route and didn’t get it to work. How did you copy the image to a virtual hard disk? Do you mean mounting the iso? 

Ha! I knew I'd seen something about CDROM support but (at the time... Thanks NF_!) the setup docs have had a placeholder and I couldn't remember where. I'm trying to boot/install A/UX and have had a bear of a time.  I could get the Mac trampoline boot system setup, but the A/UX-proper installer...

Well Quick fix... I copied `CD-Sunrise v2.2c` to my Extensions folder and now I can see the drive. :lol:

I'm having trouble mounting an ISO image. I have a `.iso` off the web for A/UX 3.0.1 and I've attached it with `rasctl -i 2 -c attach -f /path/to/file.iso` It shows up as a CDROM using Lido 7.56. On my Mac IIsi running 7.5.5 I installed "Apple CD-ROM Setup 5.3.2" and I now have some...

It doesn't actually seem to be a problem, but if you want to see those lines, I got them to appear by restarting the service: sudo systemctl restart rascsi I also noticed despite getting the system working and mounting and unmounting different images, I never saw any more lines when using...

:( yeah I think so. I guess I'll just wing it and see how it goes. Unfortunately I trashed my classic Mac collection decades ago so this is all "from scratch". It would have been easy then but its Hard Mode now. :(

Any ideas on how to get NU2.0 on a machine that doesn't have internet access yet? Also no floppy. Also only a ZIP drive that I can only burn images to from Linux.

In my on-going quest to refurb my IIsi, I'm looking to install a FPU/Nubus riser as well as a Macon network card. Trying to do things incrementally, I'd like to install the FPU/Nubus adapter first and ensure it's working correctly. I couldn't find any discussion of how to do this on the web...

Thanks folks! I got my backup made. Here's the full run down to help the next person who comes along. My floppy literally shot smoke out the front a few weeks ago, so I don't have a floppy drive any more. I ended up booting on a ZIP disk and copying it's system folder over alongside the one on...

Ordered!! Thanks for putting it all together! :ii: The parts I ordered arrived weeks ago but the PCB manufacturer delayed the boards over and over (grumble grumble) so I don't have them yet. >:(

Due to limited access to options, I've got an external SCSI ZIP100 connected to a Mac IIsi with the original 80MB HDD. It has a bunch of historical files from the original owner I'd like to preserve. What software should I be using to back the drive up? I assume "just drag all the files over to...

Thanks!!  8-)

My order for 1.5 boards was messed up so I used the opportunity to update it to 1.6 versions. I was able to reduce the price of components down by half by digging around. I’ve got some grand ideas about a RaSCSI derivative with a bunch of additions I’m interested in, but again... focus.    I...

Speaking of the wiki, I went into a deep drive on the electrical specs for SCSI-2 and the RPi and added some more color to the Transceiver Comparison page. I think I have a bee in my bonnet about alternative designs for some reason. I'll get my head out of hardware-land and into software-land...

Awesome thanks! I should have all the parts to make a couple boards in a few weeks. Once I get some working hardware with this rev, I’d like to have a go at a version with easier to obtain bus transceivers (as mentioned in the wiki). Any suggestions on which issues in the repo to take a look at...

@landoGriffin Have you tried mounting a right angle male DB25 to the bottom of the "1.5" PCB to avoid having to use a cable? It's late but I think that should flip the pins correctly, right? Scouring Mouser for parts for another project has kind of scrambled my brain. :scrambled:

Great! Thank you for the help. I'm going to order the parts and boards today for the 1.5 version. I suspect I'll end up with extras, although I need more than one (for other projects). My machine's floppy drive literally lost its magic smoke today so I'm really with no way to boot my Mac. ...

Hi folks, Just joined b/c I'm in the middle of restoring a Mac IIsi. Two questions: Has anyone used RaSCSI as a boot disk? The Quantum I have is corrupt, and I've had no luck making 6.0.8 boot floppies (either b/c the drive is bad or I'm doing it wrong.) I'd like to use RaSCSI as a boot disk...
