I believe the Zip Tools v4.2 boot limitation only applies to the Mac Plus. Specifically, when formatting the Zip disk, the machine doing the formatting needs to be using v4.2 for the Plus to be able to boot from it. In my experience, other machines don’t seem impacted by newer versions. That...

Very cool!

My first guess would be a power situation. Has your power supply ever been recapped? If not it may have drifted down a little. There’s a way to check the 5v and 12v lines on the external floppy port on the SE. might be starting every so slightly low then coming up high enough after a second on...

Also tried the 6100 with phonenet adapters between AirTalk and Printer port, no change, as well as switching config to standard printer cable to to modem port, still no change. Added in SE/30 OS 7.5.5 to AirTalk to the mix (2 AirTalk machines, plus Mini vMac SE), here were the results: Mini...

I did have a chance to try it. Setup was the following: PM 6100/66 w/PC Compatibility card (powered off), running Mac OS 8.1, AirTalk on Printer port. Mini vMac SE FDHD running 7.1 (or 7.0.1, would have to double check) The Mini vMac SE could see the 6100 in the Chooser, however selecting it...

I have a 6100. This weekend I can try it with mine to see if I can get a different result.

Very cool project. I’d be interested in 2 (one for a QuickSilver G4 and one for an iMac G4 USB 2.0) once the next batch is ready.

Agreed on 32MB being on the low side for 9.1 I’d say go with 8.6 at 32MB of RAM. Should run great on the G3 CPU. I agree with @Byrd , 8.6 improved upon 8.5 from a performance standpoint, plus added some nice little updates. If I recall correctly, many apps of the era had a minimum requirement...

The Mini vMac host computer was on WiFi. With no special configuration on the router for this, I got what I felt was reasonable performance. It took probably 2 minutes to move a 700kb game from the SE/30 up to mini vMac system. Reminded me of dial up, but for the size of files I’m generally...

Sharing my experience: successfully sharing files between an SE/30 running 7.5.5 and a Mini vMac based SE FDHD running 7.1 on an M1 MacBook Air.

This fixed it, thank you!

Tried exact same steps on an older Intel Mac running Catalina to confirm it wasn’t a difference between zsh and bash (using mc64 as target). Got same exact output when running make.

Started from scratch with a new minivmac folder from the downloaded source code cd to minivmac folder (located in my user directory) gcc setup/tool.c -o setup_t (runs no output/error) ./setup_t -t mcar -m SEFDHD -lt -lto udp -speed z > setup.sh (also runs no errors or output) chmod +x setup.sh...

I have a 3400c with a working battery and a 5300ce. I had heard that the 5300 could run from, but not charge, the 3400 battery as well. However, when I try it the 5300 shows no sign of life. That said, my 5300’s pram battery is removed. Not sure if it needs a working one present for the battery...

And no, no errors on setup.sh, only on make. I’ll post an update after I try the revised -lt options.

Thank you for the tip regarding the -lt usage. I’ll give that a try. As for the -m, not sure how I lost the space when copy-pasting what I had ran here, but just double checked and I had a space in the actual command I ran in Terminal.

Thank you. Do you have the exact line of commands you ran in Terminal? When I run the steps listed on the mini vmac site’s Build page, “make” doesn’t do anything. I don’t think there is a makefile present for it to work with. The steps I ran are as follows: Download and unzip source code. cd...

Do you have the manual compile options for Mini vMac that you used to get this working? Was this on version 37.03?

@Bolle that would be awesome if you were able to build some. I’d definitely buy one.

Definitely makes for a cool project. Agreed on 7.5.x feeling slow on the SE. System 7.0.1/7.1, in my opinion, seems to strike a good balance of features, performance and compatibility. The only reason I made the SE the FTP host is because that’s the only way I could get it to talk correctly...
