SCSI ribbon cable damaged? Can you swap it for another cable?

Looks ok. You may want to download System 7.5.5 from this link below, unzip the file and name it HD20.hda and place it on the SD card https://www.savagetaylor.com/downloads/downloads-macintosh/

Nice. Looks like you could easily fit a ZuluSCSI laptop or compact into one of those empty battery bays.

According not MacTracker the 3400C has an internal ATA hard drive and you can see in the video above it’s attached with a custom flex cable (29 minute mark). It should be easier to swap in a larger ATA drive.

Falcon MC utilized a word from the manual as copy protection. I think later versions of Falcon did this also. That’s the likely reason the boxes were stored seperately from the game disc/ manual.

I never had much luck using 400K/800K disks when my preG3 PowerMacs were new, much less 25 years later. Apple had phased out 400K/800K drives in Macs around 1988. If you want to use floppies, the 1.4 MB HD disks are a lot more reliable.

Check the 660AV post last updated yesterday. There is a table on the post, suggesting switches 1 and 4 on, the others off will produce a 640 x 480, 66 Hz, sync on green picture. This is the standard Mac II signal, though other settings may produce a higher rez picture.

The USB version of the Imation LS120 drive requires no drivers under OS9. I‘m concerned you just installed some malware on your computer - remove it.

Confirming the 610 has 512KB of VRAM soldered to the logic board. There are also two memory slots where you can install a pair of 256KB VRAM modules, bumping the VRAM to 1 MB. There is some debate on whether a PRAM battery is needed on this model, but it couldn’t hurt installing one.

it’s probably just an issue with the Apple CDROM driver. I would try installing FWB CDROM Toolkit, whose drivers support more models

The one I’m using is very thin - it’s only 1/4 inch thick. I got it many years ago after purchasing a new, expensive 15 inch multi sync monitor, and requested it from the company’s customer service department.

The 660AV definitely need a battery.

Many SCSI hard drives simply stop working. You should consider a ZuluSCSI or a BlueSCSI replacement.

If the 5v and 12v voltages are ok while the machine is running, you should check the fan. Is the power supply fan is not spinning, you should replace the fan.

I don’t know the correct switch settings for sync. I was just pointing out sync on green is wrong. Your adapter should work with the right settings. The no switch multi sync adapters work great.

The 660AV should Support 640 x 480, 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768. Sync on green should not be used. The Apple Multiple Scan Display should work fine with your Mac. On the Dell, you should select the VGA input and not DVi input. Good luck finding the correct settings.

I checked the LSL 7 wiki, and the Mac version was released on January 18, 1997. For reference, 180 MHz 603e machines were released in 1996 and 250 MHz 603e machines were sold in 1987. While the game might run on a 68040 Mac, it probably requires a faster PowerMac to run well - that’s my theory

Hmm - I was using After Dark 4 on a 68040 Mac.

FYI Steam rereleased LSL 7 on Steam in 2017 for Windows XP thru 10. You can still buy it on Steam for $5.99 https://store.steampowered.com/app/765890/Leisure_Suit_Larry_7__Love_for_Sail/

I disagree with shadedream. I have After Dark 4 and it does not work with MacOS8 or 8.1 on 68K based Macs. I suggest reverting to System 7.6.1 - the latest OS compatible with After Dark. Star Trek TOS After Dark installs and work fine with After Dark 4.
