Blue SCSI for PowerBook 100

[Beige4Ever]

I tried... I couldn't figure out how it worked. And when I did, it wouldn't boot from them. I have a thread here on my portable if you want to talk more about that there. It's Question about the macintosh portable. I know i missed the s in questions!

Literally go watch this video:

There's also always the official documentation: https://bluescsi.com/docs/Usage
Which even includes some premade bootable images to get you off the ground.

I just tried to make one using his exact steps and it didn't work... I don't know what to say...

(Am double checking)

Still the macpack works but the infinitemac one doesn't. Even doing it just like Ron did. If you have any idea pls let me know because I think it's something with the checksum checking because it always shows a zero not a 1 or 2. Here is a copy and what is highlighted is what i think is wrong. I also included a download to the log file from the pico for the infinite mac one that doesn't work.

Does the PowerBook 100 need the same BlueSCSI v2 "Mac Plus" ini file tweaks that the Macintosh Portable needs? The PB 100 is pretty much a repackaged Portable, but I guess it could have some tweaks? Worth trying if this is unknown I guess:

All that makes me think your SD card is bad.

At the very least, reformat it using Rufus or the official SD Card Formatter app, copy your images back and retest.

You can also test your image to see if it's bootable in something like Snow (https://snowemu.com/) set to emulate something like a Mac Plus.
