The voltages are correct, eg. 12.1V, 4.99V, -5.01V. I don't have another DB15 adapter but I could try a proper Mac monitor later. The board looks in good condition.

I recently bought an LC 475. At first it did that weird repeated pipping sound that I associate with power supply issues - so I recapped the power supply and motherboard, and apart from some issues with the hard drive eventually got it working. I had it booting consistently from an internal...

Hi, I kept a load of old 68K Mac images which are in various formats, and not sure how to use them! I have a set of British 7.5.3 install disks which are named .smi.bin and .part.bin but not sure how to make them usable? Ideally I would like to get them readable by Basilisk II so that I can...

Is there a design of case for the 5.1 version which has the full size SD slot?

Back to my question about cables - is a 'fully wired' DB25 male to DB25 male cable suitable for both parallel and SCSI?  There seems to be lots advertised as parallel cables, but some say also suitable for Zip drives.

So as far as I recall, the following should work 1). Download the latest version of scsi2sd-util and if necessary the latest firmware (mine already had 4.8.0 on it) 2) Plug into my modern Mac using a USB cable and insert SD card 3) Set Quirks mode to Apple, then as per the Thread "Fitting a...

Random question: is there a way, or if so, what is the best way to make disk images of floppy disks in System 7.0.1?  Also is there a System 7 utility that can create floppy disks from disk images?

So, using poor troubleshooting technique, I reduced the device size to 1GB AND changed quirks mode from None to Apple - and now it works.  I don't think I'd read anywhere that you need to change the quirks mode setting - but presumably it makes sense!   I've installed Leopard onto a USB memory...

Thanks I'll try the smaller drive setting. From what I've read, if the drive is set to larger than 2GB it will allow you to make up to 8 2GB partitions - so at least in theory a drive size or 2GB (or more) shouldn't be a problem.  But I'll try it anyway.  I'm using a 4GB SD card, so I could set...

Thanks for the reply.  Actually, it could see the SCSI drive, but I'm now getting "Format verification failed".  I've tried 2 different 4GB SD cards, with the limit set to 2GB.  I wonder if I should try the Quantum Fireball settings?  What happened when you used the Seagate settings?

Thanks.  Your reply has prompted me to have another look at the settings.  I've discovered it's still showing the default settings (vendor codesrc) so presumably it didn't save the settings that I entered.  I'll have another go. Updated:  I now see that you have to "Save to device".  Updated...

I just got a SCSI2SD v5.1 and connected it to the internal SCSI cable in my Macintosh LCII.  I booted from the System 6.7 startup disk, and from the System 7.01 disk tools disk, and in both cases it tells me that it cannot find any SCSI devices.  I've set up the card with the suggested drive...

Thanks for the replies - I'll need to keep looking for a 10.5 installation DVD - I'm hoping it's something I kept.  Only found 10.2 so far which is too old for the MacBook.   In the meantime I think I've found a good solution.  I have a PowerMac 7100/80 that does read the CD's created by High...

Thanks for the replies. If I can connect it using Ethernet, do I need Fetch to be running on the Performa 630, or on a modern Mac?  It has 7.6.1 installed, and there isn't much on there that's useful (a few disk utilities).  I did a bit of reading and worked out that if I install OS X 10.5 on...

That’s great thanks. Found it there. Just need to work out how to get it into a floppy disk now. The performa 630 has an Ethernet card, but I’m assuming modern macs won’t be able to transfer files to it?  It has a cd drive so perhaps I could burn to a cd-rom?  I’m very rust with regards to using...

I bought a Performa 630 that contained a TV tuner card, but no hard drive.  When I moved the hard drive from my other 630 it booted but there is no software to use the TV tuner.  What is the software called so I can search for it (unsuccessfully searched so far), or can someone provide a link...

I’m planning to get a SCSI2SD to use with an LCII. Is it better to get v5 or v6? V5 looks adequate but maybe it will lose support sooner?  I still have my working 80mb hard drive. Can I just copy everything over to the SD card from that (ie if I connect the SD externally)? how does the scsi2sd...

Yes exactly.  Thank you.

Do anyone know what the connector type is called for the internal hard drive power cable that attaches to the motherboard?  The end that plugs into the SCSI hard drive I gather is 4 pin molex, but I cannot find what the square connector that fits onto the motherboard is called. I bought a...

I think I have System 7 international installer disks, but wanting to get System 6 boot and installer disks prepared (I managed to resurrect my SE after a leaked battery, but the hard drive didn’t work the first time I tried to start it up, a warning I need to be prepared for the inevitable. Was...
