Aaah, OK. I'd looked at the web page talking about this and then forgot about it. So, perhaps that solves one problem: it results in a merged .iso . In this case, the .iso would be about 1.932GB I think, less than 2GB. Sorry about that. This is from...

Correct! That's the idea. The whole installation is on 3 CDs. So, the first .iso would contain the normal .iso partition table and the PA-RISC system should boot from it and won't see the other CDs, but that's fine. For the Debian installation, I understand that the first .iso is the core...

Hi @Phipli ! The whole idea is that they're raw images without an APT (I don't need the Mac to mount it after). In my case, an install .iso (Debian 5) to be copied as a .iso to a SCSI HD for a PA-RISC system. The .iso is probably 644MB, but the SCSI HD is likely 2GB. Does this help?

So, if I created a blank .img without a partition map I should be able to mount it on Dingus PPC; then run @saybur 's scuzImager to write a .iso to it. We don't know if it'd save it properly, but I could use scuzImager again to write it to another .iso and then compare them? Also, @saybur : if...

I guess there are PC ROM BIOSes (or EFI, or UEFI) to do that. On the Mac side we had direct ROM support for the Sony FD, then SCSI (but not specific SCSI media, as discussed earlier) and this took us to the cheapo 2-bpp, PowerBook 150 which I think was the first Mac to support IDE. The PB150 is...

Perfect, well done! I did wonder if someone would beat me to it, but I thought .oO( I might as well fish for a level of interest. Besides, it'll take ages for someone to write something). LOL! [ ".oO( ... )" is my symbolism for thinking, it's an ASCII thought-bubble]. I thought this was because...

Or it could be the roller. The rubber gets worn and can slip on the inner metal rod too. You can use dd in Linux or on a Mac to copy a HD image directly to an SSD. The command will look something like dd if=myImage.imgOrIsoOrWhatever of=/dev/sdMySSDorSD . This is possible if you have an SSD or...

I had similar problems a while back here's my technique for force ejecting CDs: https://68kmla.org/bb/threads/g3-imac-ate-a-cd.46654/post-521901 I fixed a broken CD-RW drive in an iMac G3 using rubber bands: https://68kmla.org/bb/threads/no-go-snow-imac-g3.47697/post-535635

Hi folks, I've tried to ask about this a couple of times, with little response except for a suggestion to try FWB. However, in another post I found FWB CD Toolkit crashes with a Type 3 error. So, I thought I'd write (what I imagine to be) a fairly simple utility to do what I want: DumbDD, since...

This is much like my PB1400 story. I bought a PB1400cs/117/16 in late 2022. https://68kmla.org/bb/threads/powerbook-1400cs-serial-port.42735/ It was originally in a fairly sad state: no FD nor CD-ROM, original & cranky HD 750 running System 7.5. I cloned the HD to an 8GB µSD card (+adapter)...

Maybe I have FWB HD Toolkit.

Apologies, I thought I'd bump this back up, because I think having the equivalent of dd on a classic Mac OS talking to a SCSI drive is generally useful and one of these tools might do that already.

Sounds similar to the problem I have with my Color SW 2400, though I don't think I have actually cleaned all the contacts properly.

This is of course, all very insightful. Manufacturing is an art-form too, especially when you're doing something new. Are these stories on Folklore.org yet?

Aaah, you had both memos stacked, I can see the second one faintly behind the first :-) !

OK, I have a related question: I'm planning to put 3x 650MB Debian .iso's onto a single 2.1GB SCSI HD (an actual SCSI HD) as a single image. There's a web page telling me how to merge the .iso's: https://wiki.debian.org/MergeDebianIsos However, my PowerBook 1400 is my only properly working...

Jagwire!

@elhafid : L'année dernière, j'avais une problème similaire, mais pour mon Mac SE. https://68kmla.org/bb/threads/sad-mac-se-glitchy-video.49673/ Pour moi, je crois la problème a cause de l'ASIC, parce-que j'ai échangé les SIMMS, mais il ne l'était jamais fixé. Naturellement, il n'y a pas un...

Hi @adespoton : you said you'd get back to me on this. Did you ever remember? Interestingly, there's a similar post but for a Mac 128 that's current. Their's is probably a memory error though. I'm going to cross reference this thread in theirs anyway.
