BlueSCSI Questions for Mac Plus

[pfuentes69]

I'm quite sure Apple HD SC will not work.
I suggest you just try to mount the image I sent with Lido or similar.

 

[silvi89UD]

Ok thanks!

Hi I've been tried but it's nothing to do....I''ve been search on the net what can I do but nothing, the plus refuses to recognise the drive......

 

[silvi89UD]

and...if I try to create 2 partitions: one exfat 20Mb with a bank .hda image and the second in another format that is not recognised by The plus ( HFS+ for example) , do u think that Apple SC HD Setup will try to initialise only the 20Mb partition??

The BlueSCSI doesn't work with partitions. You should have a single partition for the whole card and put your HDA files there. Each file will be recognised as a hard disk (or CD).
And as I said, Apple SC HD should not be used.
What happens when you list the SCSI drives with Lido?

Hy! Ok, not partitions! No, I haven’t had time to try with LIDo, I will try tomorrow!

 

[silvi89UD]

I'm sorry but I think I gonna crazy....I've been download the Lido app.But I can't charge it on basilisk app..not even if I try to change extension in. .iso;.dsk;.img......

Hello,
the idea is to run Lido in the Plus, so you'd have to copy it to a floppy.
Did you try to reformat the card with a single partition and copy the HDA there?
In one of the rest replies other folk pointed you to some pre-made images that you can use.

 

[silvi89UD]

Ok, so I’ve been tried some times with a single partition but nothing…. Maybe tomorrow I try with another pre-made image…. But… I was thinking… and if the problem is that I haven’t soldering the diode yet?

 

[pfuentes69]

Without the diode you need to power the BlueSCSI via usb, but it will work the same.

 

[silvi89UD]

Ok. I will try again today…thanks!

 

[silvi89UD]

Hi i have some news I've soldered the diode....I've been tried some times and....it works with system 5 but....a message appears that's it's not enough space on rom disk. If I click on Macintosh Finder I have a lot of memory free in Finder but the system seems full....I have also try to install from floppy Italian version of system 5 but a message appears that I have to set the Apple HD Sc as run application. I set it and restart, the same message appears....do u have any idea???

 

[silvi89UD]

It works!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but there's only one problem. when the plus starts, a message that there's not enough space on rom disk appears. I can work, and made some operations. why this message appears?

enough space in rom disk... I never saw this before... Could you post a photo of the error? I'm very curious about it!

 

[silvi89UD]

Hi! Aha ok!

 

[pfuentes69]

Interesting... how many images you have now in the BlueSCSI? Could it be that some of these images is named "ROM Disk".

The other option I can imagine is that you have a ROMinator in your Plus...

 

[silvi89UD]

I have Only one image with System 5 ! i’ve bene format the SD before copying the image .hda and a fine…??.ini ( I don’t remember the name). What is rominator??

 

[silvi89UD]

File .ini sorry

 

[pfuentes69]

ROMinator is an special ROM that has some possibilities, such as a ROM disk
if you have one, you'd see a message in your Mac proposing you to boot from the ROM disk, and the happy Mac icon shown at boot changes to a "pirate" Mac

 

[silvi89UD]

Ok, I understand! But not…. I’ve been copy all files from my original floppys and create the image, nothing else.
