OrangePC Card on IIfx

[lolo799]

Win95 floppy disks (other than the 1st one) use the DMT format with a capacity of 1.68MB iirc.
You'd have better luck copying the win95 directory from an install cdrom to the partition (or virtual hdd image, whatever it uses), and install directly from it.

Problem is I don’t know if my OrangePC card is able to read devices on the SCSI bus. I asked that in the previous post. Still waiting for confirmation on that.

I'm completely unfamiliar with the OrangePC series of cards, what i/o does your card have?
Serial and/or parallel? You can easily transfer files that way with the appropriate cable from another pc.

Some have a pcmcia slot, right?
Using a passive compact flash adapter and cheap CF card is a good option.

I saw an ISA slot on the first page, you could also put a network card in there, or a scsi controller.

Can you transfer files from the Mac side to the OrangePc side directly?

Connected my “new” 1.2GB Quantum drive to the IIfx. Although it works, there’s a lot of stuff on it. I tried transferring said stuff to my 9GB Avid/Seagate SCSI drive, but I get this error when I try to mount the drive in SCSIProbe:
View attachment 101139
Is there a way to update the drivers on the 9GB drive without reformatting it so it works on a 68030? I tried Apple’s HD Setup but it doesn’t see the drive at all.

I wonder if the 68040 requirement is artificial.

I’ve been looking for the breakout cable for this card for over 4 years now. I’ve been told several times by other members they are made of unobtainium.

I’m using that slot for my SB-2770 card, so I have sound in Windows.

Only way to do that is through the SuperDrive, unfortunately.

MS was really cramming in the data in those days lol

Not sure. AppleTalk did the job, albeit slowly.
