    PowerBook 150 installer woes with CF-to-IDE adapter

    Unfortunately, I don't have much to work with...all I have apart from this PowerBook 150 is a Power Machintosh 6100/66 (DOS Compatible😎), an LC II, and an SE/30. 🥲

    PowerBook 150 installer woes with CF-to-IDE adapter

    I used this 2GB 7.1 image and flashed it to my CF card using a CF-to-USB adapter, and this command: sudo dd if=/Users/tuna/Downloads/710_2GB_drive.dsk of=/dev/disk4 bs=128 status=progress Interestingly, when trying to boot from it (with no other devices attached), the PowerBook showed a happy...

    PowerBook 150 installer woes with CF-to-IDE adapter

    Just gave this a shot, no dice on that one either; although it did provide a bit more insight: When I tried copying the System Folder of a fresh install, it would copy a few files, and then do one of two things: - If I was booted into the PowerBook 150 Utilities floppy (i also gave copying the...

    PowerBook 150 installer woes with CF-to-IDE adapter

    No dice with Lido or Silverlining; I suspect it's because they only work with SCSI and not IDE? Not quite sure how to properly partition the CF card...I'm thinking of just biting the bullet and purchasing a lower capacity CF card to use for this project. Are there any particular models I should...

    PowerBook 150 installer woes with CF-to-IDE adapter

    How would I go about splitting up the card? I don't believe the Internal HD Format tool has any partitioning functions but I could have missed something

    PowerBook 150 installer woes with CF-to-IDE adapter

    After what felt like a bajillion years of trial and error, I finally managed to get my PowerBook 150 to recognize a 2GB Transcend Industrial CF card through this Syba adapter. I'm able to format it through the Internal HD Format tool as well as Finder, and I can observe it on the Desktop...
