Wow, thats really helpful, I'll check the last switch and see if it needs to be turned on... The drive formatted with the patched HDSC but then while verifying it, it hung.  Trying again.  Also ill look for Drive Setup as well.

I just downloaded the patched Apple HDSC setup so I can initialize this CMS external HDD so the mac plus can read it, I hope thats the problem on boot.  Strange that it works after booted, but not to boot from.

Yeah there are a few spots like that in this Plus, but I believe it was from previous leaks, b/c I dont see any leaks.  Also the very first time I opened this Plus I forgot to take out the battery compartment screw, and the whole compartment came off with the back case, haha.

Oh man thanks guys!!! Loving this forum, and the old macs!   :D I will look for the part and get to work..  on another note,  I am still trying to get this external drive to boot on the plus, it worked a few times, then no more. The drive mounts when I start from a floppy, but it will not...

I was installing os 6.0.8 onto the external SCSI drive on a Mac Plus when suddenly I heard a loud pop and smoke started pouring out of the top of the computer! AGH!  The screen flickered a bunch but the machine stayed on, of course as quickly as I could I powered pulled the power and opened her...

Yeah, I haven't had too much time at the shop to play around with the IIgs yet.  I've now got a rom00 and rom01 IIgs, but no way to hook up an external/internal HDD yet.  Still trying to read and understand what exactly I need.  Looks like I need a scsi controller which seems rare.   Then i'll...

nice! the radiusware image is available to download and install the extensions

Yes they need them sometimes to activate certain features (that is a really poor explanation, but simple) While messing with it today I was able to get it to activate "unknown FPU" and 68020 @14mhz with the Total Systems "Gemstart 3.0" drivers (according to the little system info program)  It...

This board came out of an SE with a "badge" on it that said Hypercharger 020.  BUT  today I ripped off the velcro that was covering the middle socket and it said MacPeak underneath it.  After searching it looks like you are right, this is the Orion 25 card.   Any idea on where I can find drivers...

Still stuck on this accelerator.. I thought it was the hypercharger 020 b/c I found a hypercharger 020 sticker, but it might not be.. I cant seem to get the drivers working.. ahh well, ill just keep at it :D

Interesting, id love to see some pics of your accelerator, maybe we can find out which one it is?

I "think" I found out which accelerator it is!  I believe it to be the Hypercharger 020 accelerator.  I found some files for it but they don't seem to work on system 7.  I'll try installing system 6 soon, and see what I come up with.

Still cant get the Mac SE to recognize any of the extra ram on this accelerator.  Compact Virtual Doesnt run, gives me an error.  Ramdoubler wont run while an accelerator is plugged in.  System info recognizes the accelerators CPU but not the FPU, which still says "Software" in system info...

Sweet! Back from the grave, good job!

Thanks Sherry, I'll check it out! :D

Nice info thanks! Personally I feel like I got a great deal, and in the end, thats all that matters! :D  I just picked up another IIgs today with a BUTTLOAD of extra stuff for free.. couple printers a monitor, software/manuals from the same guy, so we'll see what I got tomorrow when I pick...

gsteemso,   Thanks for the response!! Ouch, I paid 80$ for this iigs with the monitor, x2 external 800kb floppy drives and a 5.25" floppy drive.  I am about to pick another up with rom01.  Is rom03 the most desirable? I would assume it is the newest with all revisions so probably best to have?

Hello everyone,   I've got a IIgs with Rom00.  My question is I see a lot of the upgraded IIgs' with Rom 01/03 but not too many Rom00's.  Are they worth more?

I installed Connectix Virtual Ram and tried installing for the gemini board but it gives me this error. "Virtual did not load because this machine lacks the proper hardware to support virtual memory (EC030 or 040 processor). Also I notice that even though the board has a 68881 FPU it does not...

Awesome!  Thanks for this. Anyone have any ideas on what program to scan/repair a Mac SE hard drive?? It wont install or initialize, but it already has files on it and they can be read... its probably near EOL (end of life) but worth a shot.. thoughts?  I was looking for norton disk tools but...
