I've never done that in VB but I did find this tutorial that seems like it is on target: https://averagelinuxuser.com/virtualbox-shared-folder/

I don't see why not.  You just have to point Netatalk to the proper path, wherever it is in the file system.  I haven't tried System 6, but if it works System 7 I don't see why it wouldn't work for 6.  And it definitely works for Mojave and Catalina too.  I was having major problems last week...

And the winner is ... TechTool Pro.  I ran it, it repaired some but not all of the stuff wrong with the hard drive, and it boots again.  Thanks for the tip @jessenator.

Here is what I see.

I've got a stock 475 that up until recently, worked perfectly.  It has the original HD in it.  Now, when I boot, right before it is done, a dialog pops up that never fully displays, and the mouse freezes.  I've tried starting with extensions disabled, same thing.  I've checked the startup folder...

Oh crap, I read them wrong. 

I find assigning just one SCSI I’d and partitioning for multiple volumes makes things much easier for avoiding I’d conflicts when using multiple devices, and essentially gives the same result.

How about this Mac Plus to USB adapter: https://www.tinkerboy.xyz/product/tinkerboy-m0110-keyboard-to-usb-converter-for-the-apple-macintosh-128k-512k-plus-keyboard/ also available is a Mac Plus mouse to usb converter: https://www.tinkerboy.xyz/product/tinkerboy-m0100-mouse-to-usb-converter/

This IDE / SATA to USB adapter has a nice compact power supply for supplying the SCSI2SD units, and, if memory serves me, even comes with the adapter to convert to the floppy type power fitting.  Only $20.24...

One of my pet peeves about the SCSI2SD utility is that it is too easy to accidentally select save to device rather than load from device in the menu, meaning, if I want to first read the config from a device, inspect and modify it and then write it, more than one time I've accidentally written...

Does the v6 actually write the partition table too?  My understanding is that the only difference with the v6 is that it stores the SCSI2SD configuration the card instead of some flash memory on the SCSI2SD board, but the partition table and volumes are still written by the tools on the vintage...

Yes, but it only mounted the original 64GB volume, not the 2GB volume he was expecting.  That's because no new volume has yet been written I surmise.  Unless I misread something. 

Very true.  But I've never had issue with mounting volumes using the SD card directly as mentioned above.  This is as expected.  What you did is simply create a raw SCSI drive using the SCSI2SD utility.  You now need to partition and format using HD SC Setup (patched), Lido, or some utility so...

I was working on a Mac Plus with 030 upgrade the other day and it had an analog board issue.  I was adjusting the video image size on the board and the video started cutting out.  Then it cut out completely.  Then I noticed that pressing on the analog board at a certain point slightly towards...

Okay, as per Jag's House page, opening and closing the system folder a couple of times re-blesses it.  Not sure if this works for early than 7.6, but I'm glad to know the trick.  Next challenge ... after upgrading to 7.6.1, the option to have resolutions higher than 640x480 has disappeared from...

And I don't have a fan on the full 040, but it does have a pretty good sized heat sink on it. 

Ok, I booted from the OS 7.6 CD.  Looks like what happened is that after installing the 7.6.1 update, the system folder became unblessed.  It just so happened that the timing was just before I put the top on the 475 so that was a red herring.  How the heck to I bless it again? 

Oh brother, this is what kills me about this hobby.  I put the cover on and now the 475 doesn't recognize the SCSI2SD at all.  I get a quick blink on the activity light on the SCSI2SD and then some time later the Mac informs me it doesn't have a startup volume. 

Alrighty then.  Got the Farallon card installed and the machine is on the network.  That was much easier than I imagined.  I'm a little curious though, in the chooser, my a2server doesn't show up.  On my Mac Mini running 9.2.2 I had the same problem and had to browse to it by IP address.  But...

Next up, gonna try and install the LC PDS Ethernet card and see if I can get it talking to my a2server to install more stuff.
