Some poking around the forums turned up the coin-cell adapters. I did not see any posts about an external battery holder -- at least not any that didn't require soldering. Soldering is out of my comfort zone. If there are any non-soldering external-battery solutions I'd love to hear about them...

So I sorted out the decompressing-before-transfering issue, aaaaaand... it didn't make a difference. "PRAM Auto-Restore" still crashes when I try to select it in Control Panel (in System 6), as does everything else I try -- except for the ones that don't seem to do anything at all. If I could...

In theory, I could easily solve this whole issue by just putting in a battery. If I used the SE all the time I would probably do that. The problem is that it spends most of its life in storage. I can go months (or sometimes years) without powering it on at all, and then use it daily for a week...

Oh. Wait... A while ago I tried extracting files on the SE but didn't have any luck, so I was extracting them on my M1 Mini and then moving them over to the SE (via MacIPpi). But now I realize that maybe the modern Mac is part of the problem. Or is it? Hmmm... Need to experiment further. Stay...

So I tried them all... Either they crashed the Mac, or didn't seem to work all. Some of them were in folders with all kinds of other associated files that I couldn't identify. Maybe configuration files or something. Anyway, I could not get the desired result. If anyone else can figure it out...

Don't have time to fire up the Mac SE right now... I will give them a try as soon as I get a chance...

Most of them are dead links (at least for me). I was able to download a few of them to my modern Mac, but I didn't have a chance yet to check them on the SE.

I tried it... Selecting it in the control panel caused the Mac to crash. I can't access most of the files on the Gamba page -- they lead to "failed to open page"... Mostly because "FTP URLs are disabled".

So... No?

FYI re. WiFi: I have a few TP-link Deco mesh units which each have 2 Ethernet ports. The main Deco is connected to the router via Ethernet. The other Decos are connected to each other via Ethernet but use WiFi to talk to the main Deco (and router). If I use an Ethernet cable to connect either...

Mac SE with Asante Ethernet card, 4 MB RAM, SCSI2SD with partitioned 8GB SD card, System 6.0.8 (also System 7.1 on a different partition, but I try to avoid it because sloooooow). When Mac is unplugged or even just switched off, the network reverts to LocalTalk. Is there any way around this...

OK. That makes sense. So what is the value of having different SCSI IDs on the same physical card? You could also just have one ID with a bunch of partitions on it. Then all of the data is accessible on old Macs and also more modern Macs (but not the most modern Macs).

I'm sure you know a lot more about this stuff than I do, but my experience contradicts that statement... Before I set up a MacIPpi (much thanks to @mactjaap), I was transferring files to and from a Mac SE by taking the SD card out of the SCSI2SD and putting it into a card reader attached to a...

Got it. So what if I want to use a SCSI2SD with cards of different capacities? I have a few old cards laying around that have no other use. One is 8 GB and another is 256 MB. Do I need to re-setup the SCSI2SD every time I switch cards?

An excellent guide! I am confused about one thing: You wrote that for Device 1, the numbers put into "Device Type, Start sector, Sector size and Device size ... are critical". Why does Device 1 need to be only 200 MB? Why not just make it 2 GB (or 8 GB, or whatever)?

There are 2 versions of the switch on Thingiverse: <https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2579509> and <https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4324446>. In the notes, one of them says that it *must* be printed vertically (or the arms that press the internal buttons will be too weak). The other one says...

I finally got the 3D print that claimed to solve my problem but I didn't try putting it into the SE yet. The mount is <https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4220601> The screw holes are pretty wide and look like they require nuts on the bottom to secure everything. It also looks like the SCSI2SD is...

Thanks for the info. I didn't know that such a thing existed. I did find a bracket on Thingiverse that claims to place the SCSI2SD right up against the floppy port so that the SD card is accessible. I am having it 3D printed now and will report back when I get it. If that doesn't work, I will...

Apologies if this has been addressed. I've searched through the posts and didn't find a solution to my particular issue… I am looking for a way to mount a SCSI2SD (v5.1) against the front of an SE so that the SD card can be swapped in and out easily without opening the case. Most of the...

I too would be interested in a Mini G4 version...
