FYI - Don't feel too bad, we have all done something similar. For myself, I killed my childhood //e by trying to hot plug the disk drive controller card. Who knew you had to turn these things off before working on them. In my defense, I thought it was off, but I should have pulled the power cord...

Initially the only file on the card is the whatever images I put on. I believe once powered up it creates the ini file? It create some file I cant remember what its named. At least that's what it does on the V1, I've never checked the V2, I assume its the same. Also, I bought my v2 unit way...

I don't have one to try....

What I find interesting is that if you're trying to boot GS/OS directly off the GGLabs card w/BlueSCSI v2 attached, it will boot and give you the error complaining you need a driver, but once you hit "OK" it seems to function fine once the desktop is reached. If booting from another device like...

I did some testing to help with this mystery. I created an 800k GO/OS bootable floppy disk image (attached) that has the bare minimum to boot into finder. In order to put the SCSI.Manager and SCSI HD driver on this disk I had to remove the 5.25 floppy driver and the control panels. They weren't...

Have you ruled the BlueSCSI out as a source of trouble? Are using BlueSCSi v1 or V2 I am BlueSCSI using V1 I have one v2 that will only mount 1 image. I assembled it myself and it works, but seems locked to 1 image only and I've been too lazy to trouble shoot it.

It's supposed to be a 1:1 clone of the apple SCSI card. Others have cloned, you might find more info from the other clones. With a little digging, I found these: https://gglabs.us/sites/gglabs.us/files/A2SCSI-A01_sch.pdf https://gglabs.us/sites/gglabs.us/files/A2SCSI-A01_FS.pdf There also a...

So if you rule out your ROM, then it has to be one of the other chips. I think GGLabs product page is referring to rev2 or 3 of the card. I believe ours are rev1 cards. GGLabs has done this in the past, they seem to disappear and then come back quite often. But for how long I can not say.

I have attached a zipped dump of my ROM. However I believe it to be nothing other than the standard Apple Rev C version. You can download that from here https://downloads.reactivemicro.com/Apple II Items/ROM_and_JEDEC/Apple_II_SCSI_Card/

The back of mine is the same. Except the long number is different. Perhaps a serial number of some kind? I'll get the ROM shortly....

Some closeups

Here's a pic of my card, perhaps we have different revisions?

Also note that any hard drive used with Prodos is limited to 32mb or less. You can have a 100mb Hard drive it just needs to be partitioned in to any combination of <32mb drives. (25,25,25,25 or 32,32,32,4 etc.) You can also however have larger disks formatted with HFS. But the catch is the HFS...

So I use the A2SCSI attached to a BlueSCSI with my IIgs's all the time. Both a ROM 01 and ROM 03. Same image used between both machines, no issues. Even between Apple and GGLabs cards no issues. From the GS/OS install disk did you make sure to install the SCSI related options?

Well, I'm a couple weeks late to this party, but here is my MAC portable story. About a year ago, I was able to buy a non-working 5120. Complete with original carrying case, manuals basically everything for $125 from a local owner/collector. He was moving and wanted to clear some stuff out. (...

Nice! I Love the 3d printed cases, the back panel is a nice alternative to the other options.

Thanks, is there a waiting list for the next batch or how can I know when you have more instock?

I'm curious what this is... I came looking for the accelerator that I've heard/read so much about, is this part of it or ??
