Well you can obtain the utilities using gray-area methods, they are out there. The copy of micronet utility comes with micronet SCSI drives. I had it on floppy, but its also downloadable on a certain gray-area site.

Adtron SCSI Compact Flash drive?

Does anyone know if Lido 7 will work in Macdrone's case? This is what I use and it's legally and freely available at http://www.euronet.nl/users/ernstoud/lido7.html
My first version of HDT is 1.2.1 from 1991 on 800k Floppies with the System 7 Savvy sticker on the box. If 1.6 won't cut it, maybe we can figure out a way for me to format an SD card for one of you to try with System 6.
Maybe using an adapter in the 150 booting under 7.1.1 on an external SCSI HDD?
I have HDT somewhere, but the last time I used it, the driver was crashing my LC475. Soon as i partitioned and formatted an HDD, it would reboot to sad mac. and always show sad mac no matter what as long as that HDD was connected.
Yep it will do that if it doesn't meet requirements. HD toolkit 2.5 says 030 and 4 Meg's of ram and plus not supported, so that should mean nothing short of an SE30 or LCIII with 4 Meg's of ram pretty much. By the way that's exactly what happens when it's in my 100 with my version.
IIRC I bought the retail package when I got my first 1GB HDD from APS and it worked fine with the PowerBook 100.
BTW, if that driver for the Presto Plus isn't available from someone other than Sonnet without the need to hunt too hard for it online, that would be a great one to have archived.

Yeah, if I'd also known they were going to work so well, I also would have picked up another one too. Seems like they are going to be very multipurpose.
I'm just glad I linked the auction so the community here could snap them up. Having two slots, that puts them a step ahead of even the aztecmonster.

Well, I just got mine. I bought the one slot version in the first post and the firmware is 1999 2.02a. I purchased 4 of these before posting here as I have some plans for them. It was a gamble but I think those of us who got them can agree it certainly worked out.
This thing is very quick. I hooked mine up to a TAM. I only had a 512MB CF card that was used in a camera (the bigger ones are coming) but the format with Lido was almost instant. I actually thought something was wrong. While I have no benchmarks, I think The only speed imitation with this device is the computer.
As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I bought the 2.5" to 3.5" adapter so I put this in an Apple M2115 hard drive enclosure. Here are some pics that will give you some idea of the size (sorry about the bad lighting).
This thing is great so far but I want to see if the 16GB cards will work. Now I need something like this for the main TAM drive but, of course, it won't be SCSI.
I'm just glad we got them before the Sampler guys did

Arrrrr, me hearties! :rambo:
@snuci: got a pic of the front of that external HDD's front bezel? Its curvature is interesting.

Yep, that's what I was thinking because of the way the curve slants back, but it looked like it might be a full "height" HDD case. One can hope. [

In the process of swapping the Adtron and the 2.5" drive in my 540c back and forth, I apparently managed to trash the SCSI ribbon cable, as I can hit the end of the cable fairly hard, and it will boot, but otherwise just blinks question marks at me. So annoying! Now I have to take the whole damn thing apart to swap out one cable (and this is my last Powerbook 500 series SCSI ribbon cable, and I hate not having spare parts on hand)! Some days are just not good days for vintage computing...
I love when things go bad to worse. Went to turn my other Powerbook 500 series upside down to undo the chassis so I can get the HDD SCSI cable out, and I forgot that I had already unscrewed the drive. The drive tumbles out and rips the HDD SCSI cable completely in 1/2. Now I have no HDD SCSI cable!
Since this is a family forum, I'll refrain from using the language I would otherwise use to describe how I feel at this moment.
Needless to say, I am a very unhappy panda.
