The first major barrier to experimentation with A/UX is obtaining compatible hardware. Once you have the hardware, the second has been the installation process, which is, frankly, burdensome and finicky. @pb3623 and I have been working on creating a "clean" A/UX installation that can be dd'd...

How do I mount existing Mac-formatted volumes within A/UX? I have A/UX running on a SD card via SCSI2SD.  / is on /dev/dsk/c0d0s0 (from my memory, so may be wrong). Volumes for System 7 and 8, "Backups" and "Apps" show up on the A/UX desktop.  I'm running out of space on /.  I'd like to use...

What's the best path to upgrading 8.0 on a Quadra 950 to 8.1, if the installer shows the drive as "unsupported"? I got 8.0 on this Apple-branded IBM 2GB SCSI HDD by booting from a SCSI2SD image that  has Anubis installed on it. I also had to use an external SCSI CDROM drive, as the internal...

I just obtained a working MP2000, and am faced with the bootstrap problem. I have no interconnect dongle, and I don't yet have any PCMCIA cards. Is anyone in the Atlanta area willing to provide a bootstrap card? Also, I have 2 non-working MP100s. One doesn't power on at all. The other one...

I just acquired (under a small amount of duress) both a Wallstreet PowerBook G3, and a Lombard PowerBook G3. Both are in mediocre-to-poor condition, and neither boot to OS. The Wallstreet is in better condition, only missing its CD-ROM drive. When connected to power, its fans spin up for a...

I liberated a Quadra 840av over the weekend. It was in middling-to-poor condition, with a dead SCSI HDD and rust at the bottom of the case. I got it to boot with Mac OS 8.1 via SCSI2SD. However, I haven't yet been able to get networking to function with the Asante Mini EN/SC. After much...

My Mac IIsi is having some issues both booting from a SCSI device, and seeing any other SCSI device. The IIsi has a new scsi2sd adapter with a 7.5.3 image from http://www.savagetaylor.com/2018/01/05/setting-up-your-vintage-classic-68k-macintosh-using-a-scsi2sd-adapter/ . The scsi2sd can't see...

I'm working with a new (to me) Mac SE/30. I swapped in the board from my other SE/30, but didn't replace the HDD. This motherboard has been recapped, and has a Mac Rom-inator installed. The new SE/30's HDD has Systems 6, 7.0.1, and 7.5.3. I had issues getting 7.5.3 to boot, so I assumed it was...

Here's my fork of a netatalk server in a docker container: https://github.com/unxmaal/docker-netatalk This will let you run an Apple File Sharing server via container, without having to install or configure netatalk. It can also act as (and broadcast as) a Time Machine server for a local...

I have a Mac SE that seems unable to read from any floppy drive connected to either the external or internal floppy connectors.  It states the disk is unreadable, and asks to initialize it. I've tried with an Apple external FD to external, the native built-in FD to both internal ports, and...

The prior owner of this Mac SE had installed a SE/30 motherboard in it. When he sold it to me, he was unable to get it to boot past a SimasiMac screen.  I scrubbed the motherboard, removed all the caps, and replaced them with new SMD or axial ones.  I still had some trouble with SimasiMac, but...

[Apologies for any breach of etiquette; I'm new here.] Over the weekend I've acquired a Color Classic with a LC575 motherboard 'Mystic' upgrade. (It came with 2 spare LC575 boards: one standard, and one with an 040 that was somehow overclocked with an oscillator and a heatsink(?!)). The CC's...
