@dougg3 @Arbee - great testing / sleuthing guys! Really interesting reading and glad @dougg3's made progress! I'm wondering, though, if at least some of the (older driver) scenarios where the CD boots first regardless of SCSI ID / Startup Disk settings may actually be by design? IIRC, weren't...

Perhaps a dumb question... but have you used the "Startup Disk" Control panel to set which 'drive' to start from? I believe it saves something in PRAM? If you're getting the disk with flashing "?" - it may not be set? Also (might be failing memory here?) but I think if nothing is set, the...

Interesting project - question - is this a 1:1 reproduction, or have you tweaked design to work around some of the harder to find modern equivalents? I believe Q12 (if memory serves) doesn't really have a modern day direct replacement?

Ooo... if @Pushpull76 isn't or if shipping/customs is a deal-breaker - I'd be interested. LMK. :)

Were there / are there 2 chip vintage Mac compatible 16Mb SIMMs? I know there is this issue with 4Mb SIMMs - @max1zzz has made up some 2 chip, 4Mb ones of late, so will know what's needed for those. Maybe he'll know the incantation for 16Mb ones?

Maybe you'd be interested in ... Thread 'UK Meetup' https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/uk-meetup.45032/ Could be someone has a "project" compact they'd be willing to let go for a reasonable sum and bring along?

You mean one of these...

Or... (in a previous company) one of my clients using a Supercomputer to model landing a helicopter on the deck of a ship in 30ft seas...

Ooo... NEAT!! Tagged for future investigation! (y)

An ounce is an ounce, but a pint and a gallon are certainly NOT the same. There are, however, 8 pints in each of the latter. (US or UK gallon)

Don't have anything super sophisticated, but I'm calling it 12cm. 😆

Hey, so, are you still after more measurements? I'm working on another B&W G3 and have the side panel off.... 😀

I've created loads of 400k disks - even some for my Lisa - on System versions up to 9.x. I'm wondering - even though NOS/sealed - if it might be your diskettes? Have you tried formatting them as regular - 800k - diskettes? ISTR reading somewhere that sometimes the magnetism just gets messed...

Totally... I've had at least four lately where the LL ELNAs had spilled their guts. 😠

A couple more pics showing how they cabled it up : I'll try to buzz out the connections later and report back.
