Okay, I didn't know that I cannot create a bootable floppy from Windows even using programs such as WinImage. I have also tried using dd from my Mid 2012 Macbook Pro, without any success. Is there anyway that I can create a bootable floppy disk using the setup I have? (i.e. a USB floppy drive, a...

My SCSI2SD arrived!! I almost cannot believe the South African Post Office actually didn't lose something! What a win!  :p   So I spent the last three days trying to get my little Mac to boot from the new device. I have followed the tutorial...

Okay, it turns out is is just my floppy drive being ridiculous. Sometimes it works fine, but most of the time I get a "disk error", whatever that means. Is there any way to fix this sort of problem, or does this mean I have to replace the drive? :(  

Thanks for your response. I'll definitely give your suggestion a shot :) Every image I make using the emulator, and then dd to a floppy seems to give me "disk error". I can open it and see the content, but I can't install anything, or copy it from the floppy. I've just initialised a disk on...

I haven't tried that, but I'll give it a shot. I'm becoming desperate to get MPW on my machine!  :p

So the awesomest thing happened last night! Out of frustration, I put my old mac back together (I was keeping the hdd out for easy insertion of the scsi2sd when it arrives :) ) and it booted!! I was so happy! I have turned it off and on a bunch of times in the mean time, and it seems to be...

Hi guys, So I've been having some trouble with my SE/30, and yesterday it finally started up! Now, I want to get some software on it using floppies. I've downloaded the disk images I want from http://macintoshgarden.org, but I can't seem to figure out how to write it to a floppy so that I can...

So just a quick update. I ordered the scsi2sd card about two days ago from China. Here's hoping that it actually gets here and that it'll solve my problem. I'll report back as soon as I can :)

Hi everyone, thank you very much for your reply. It is a Quantum drive. If the rubbers were causing the problems, wouldn't tapping the head have solved it (temporarily at least)? How else would I be able to save this drive if it is the rubbers? Is there any way to check that this is the problem...

Hey guys, So, I've been creeping on this forum for a while, looking for help for my first *brand new* Macintosh SE/30. When I bought it, everything was working fine, except no bong. I was so excited to start coding on this awesome old machine! (I'm into programming on vintage platforms, so this...
