I’m hardly an expert but You’ll definitely need to do a complete recap and check all the traces to make sure. You could also check the ROM SIMM is not loose and is seated correctly.

I’m glad someone sent you a floppy disk with the utilities needed. Sorry it didn’t fix the issue. I’ve seen that same phase error in Lido and I believe it is due to improper termination on the SCSI drive IIRC.

The short answer is yes. If you have an external floppy disk drive for the Mac SE/30, whether an 800k drive or 1.44m drive you can boot with the disk tools floppy disk that you already used to boot the Mac with, while using a second floppy disk in the second drive loaded with the utilities that...

Lido wouldn’t have to be on the boot floppy. It could be on its own floppy and do the floppy swap. So any one of us could mail you one. I would also include the hacked version of HD SCSI Setup and SCSI Probe as well. Did you check the scsi cable for rips and bent pins in the slots? It’s really...

The Sony in my IIsi started a fire. I heard a pop and then flames and smoke. No pictures.

It may need reformatting with a different formatting utility. Also check the quality of the SCSI cable from disk to Board.

For full automation of new downloads from the internet via a Modern Mac or iPhone to the Jag server I’ve setup folder actions on a Mac Mini running 10.6.8. The modern mac downloads something from the Macintosh garden or anywhere upon user request. it will save to a special folder on the 10.6.8...

So I put a generic pci FireWire card in my pm 8600. I added a 250 GB external HDD via an enclosure I’ve had for a while which has FireWire and USB. Booted in Mac OS 9.1, running Xpostfacto its possible to boot Mac OS X 10.2.8 or Mac OS X 10.2.8 Server with a helper drive such as a partition on...

Mine is booted with Jaguar Server on a FireWire drive with a helper app. What’s good about Jag Server is that classic Mac OS networking can connect to it. Makes a great file server and has space for an archive.

I thought the G3 came with FireWire btw.

Depending on the amount of Memory it has couldn't you install Mac OS 9 onto a RAM disk and boot from that instead of a CD? How do system setting get saved if booted from a locked CD? I keep a Netboot server around so I can boot from that when needed.

Oh I see, I didn't know that. Very nice.

Yes, I remember doing this exact setup and I can tell you it works great. Even works well with MacIPGateway that @mactjaap has. In this case you don’t need an AppleTalk router, you’re just bridging the two ports similar to what IP NetRouter does. You cannot create zones with it though.

It may be a simple answer but it’s not an obvious setting and just about everyone gets tripped up on it. This will help someone else in the same situation.

I wonder if Elliot was able to use an HFS+ on 68030. I was under the impression that only a 68040 or PPC Mac could use HFS+? Which 68k disk formatting utility can make HFS+ partitions? The only time I did this was on my Powerbook 520c external SCSI drive, but the drive had been already formatted...

I see, that makes sense.

Unless there's a version I've never seen, I don't see how a PPC could run AppleTalk Internet Router since AppleTalk Internet Router doesn't run with OpenTransport as it requires the Classic Mac Networking. Am I wrong assuming PPC Macs require OpenTransport? I Use a Performa 400 with Mac OS 7.5.3...

Yea, I believe I used a cheap 2 wire phone cord once. You’re correct it doesn’t work.

I have run into issues where the telephone wire used to connect from one PhoneNet to another didn’t work. I think you need a 4 wire phone cord to do it. Also, both ends of the PhoneNet adapter chain need to have one of those terminators I believe. It

One thing you have to remember is that most vintage electronics are not necessarily plug n play. There are many different configurations and also software drivers needed for devices to be able to be used on various vintage systems. By plugging in a 40 year old external drive and hoping for the...
