Oh sorry I lead you astray @EvieSigma!   Thanks @IlikeTech replying and clearing that up.  Now time to read about what a SCSI Driver/Partition is.... (makes for good bedtime reading  ;-) )

Nice, glad you got it figured out.  I guess it was the image that was bad.  

Sorry I don't have any more ideas: I haven't done it myself and was just going off my understanding and guides.   I have an SCSI2SD on the way for a CC too but until I get to play with it I probably can't help anymore. Tho one last thing: When you say OS 9, is it as a SCSI2SD or directly to...

Not sure what you mean.  If you DL http://www.savagetaylor.com/wp-content/uploads/68k_Macintosh/Setup/Bootdisks/OS_755_500MB.zip, unzip it, you get a .dsk file.  You then dd that onto the SD card which should be bootable.  Again, I don't have SCSI2SD but I assume thats how it works. BTW, not...

That’d be slow but it would work.   I don’t have a SCSI2SD yet but if the concepts are the same you should be able to image the SD card from Windows with a known good .img file.  Something like https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/windows.md that works for...

Do you know if it works on other machines?   Does the amber light turn off after you insert a cartridge?  I had one in storage for a while and it failed when I tried to use it, like it just died.  Amber light stayed on and it didn’t seem to do the usual head seek which was what it did before.  

That’s sweet!  It’s like the fastest possible Mac of the original design. How fast does it compare to say a stock SE/30?  Does your accelerator bump up the bus speed too?

Yup check the things Cory has mentioned.  Simplify the network then go complex (i.e. start with a laptop direct connection (with a cross-over cable depending on your laptop), then add stuff in between after. Also, you mention a "10base-T only hub".  Old hubs have a uplink port which you might...

Have you set the IP manually and is it sticking around in the MacTCP panel?

You can use this page to generate a custom binary with a resolution of your choosing: https://www.gryphel.com/c/minivmac/var_serv.html

Yeah, was confusing considering the link light on the hub/switch side was lighting up.  Supposedly that lights up with RX wires are working.  Yeah weird.  Which daughterboard do you have?  I have one with Thick and RJ45 (and a little slide switch), and the one that didn't work when flipped...

Yup indeed.  My confusion came from expecting a screw head of some sort.  Thank you all!

Oh I am wrong!  Its see through but the inside is the hex shape, so its not a screw but its a barrel that spins within the "straw".  Ahhhh maybe that will help you SE30_Neal! 

Yup, its gonzo!  Here is a pic, I'm holding a blue piece of cardboard behind it.

Success!  After more experimentation, it turns out the ribbon cable to the daughter card was flipped backwards.  So remember: white dot to white dot! Don't know if it just never worked for the previous owner, or maybe it worked on the BNC / Thick connection the way it is, but there you go.  :?:

Right, so there should be something in that spring in that tube.. makes sense!  I guess if I can get my hands on a parts machine I might be able to thread one out and thread one in?  Or just replace the whole part altogether.  Mystery solved, thanks for everyones help and insight!

Don't have it handy at the moment, but, the hole on shield lines up with a hole on the PCB which leads to the tube/straw thing circled, and it is hollow.  No screw or hex anything inside.  Its like looking down an empty toilet paper tube :-)

Right!  I read about the dangers of using a screwdriver, so I have a whittled down wooden chopstick :-)  It worked for brightness.  But... there is _nothing_ to turn in the width.  It is a hole, it looks like a metal spring in a straw and I can see right through it.  I could push a skewer...

Hi I have recently acquired (another, I don't have a problem I promise) SE/30 with an Asante MacCon, but when I plug it into the switch the light on the card does not come on.  It does come on though at the router end. I have an existing SE/30 with a MacCon as well, and that machine does show a...

Bumping an old thread, but, have a machine where width is way out of whack!   So when I went to adjust the width portion there is "nothing" in the width adjustment hole.  That is, I see something that looks like a wound spring in a metal tube where I expected to see a "pot" or a "screwhead".  I...
