It's a Presto, not a Presto Plus. I downloaded that extension and whilst I already have a v3.1 extension, the one you linked to is 6KB larger, so I was hoping that it'd be the one to make it all work. Alas, no. Extension still loads with a red X through it. I'm about ready to throw in the...

Ah, I misread what you said! Too early in the morning! I have searched for a system enabler but the only one I can find is "CFM-68K Runtime Enabler". No sign of 003 v1.1. Is it an invisible file? It certainly isn't in my system folder... I had read somewhere recently that that enabler was...

Hello. I'm thinking about picking one of these up and have a couple of options at cards, but without the adapter cable. We all know the cable is rare as hen's teeth, comparatively, but I'm inclined to get the card now and keep an eye out for the cable. In the meantime, is there any use for the...

Presto 7 Enabler v3.2.1, same version as the extension that causes the bus error. These are both what I received from Sonnet. So, looks like they may have mailed me software intended for the Presto Plus. Balls. As stated above, the system will not boot past happy Mac with this enabler in the...

I followed that which you said above. Disabled unnecessary extensions. Then zapped PRAM. Then placed the extension and the enabler. This gave the same result as before, either nothing beyond a chime with the 32MB RAM still on the mo'board or freezing at Happy Mac with the RAM removed. I then...

And I'm using OS7.6.1, so 32 bit is always on.

Yeah, the Presto software download from Sonnet's site has 2 enablers for OS8 but I had seen a couple of other forum posts in other places where people mention a System 7 enabler, so I mailed Sonnet asking for it and they sent me it! It's also mentioned in the Presto Plus installation pdf that's...

Right, just followed spiceyokooko's advice and started with a fresh install. No luck, same as before. Have also followed ojfd's tip re getting the Presto extension to load first. Tried junking the System 7 enabler as per OlePigeon and only having the Presto extension. Well, with the 32MB RAM...

Thanks for that, think I'll give it a go this evening. I just tried booting with extensions off (shift held down) and the card installed, and it worked. So, does that indicate it's not a physical issue with the card and more likely software? Obviously, with the Presto extension not being loaded...

I also have an FPU installed on the motherboard, could this be conflicting? I don't have an extraction tool so can't easily pull it out to check... S

Right, just done some reading up on Mode32 and yeah, the LC series doesn't require it as it's always in 32 bit mode. So that ain't the issue. I just removed the VRAM and booted. Still nothing. Then removed the 32MB stick of RAM and... it gets to the Happy Mac before freezing. Help! S

Unfortunately the Sonnet download only has the System 8 enabler. But they mailed me the 7 enabler directly so I (in theory!) have all the requisite software, just not having any luck getting it to boot with the card installed. I know it needs 32 bit memory on but in the Memory control panel...

Hello gents. Thanks for the replies, sorry to not respond sooner, got overtaken by life and haven't had any time to tinker with the old Mac, until this weekend... Well, I've sourced what I think I need directly from Sonnet tech support. I have the Presto extension, which I've placed in the...

I picked up a Sonnet Presto for my LCIII+ recently for a damned good price, been looking for one for a couple of years, so was stoked to get it! Only problem is, cant find the right drivers! In particular, I think I need the System 7 enabler, I'm running 7.6.1. Sonnet site has drivers for the...
