Quadra 700 Sad Mac

[paws]

Today I tried setting up my Quadra 700 again. It's been in a cupboard for a few years, but was working fine before that.

Unfortunately, it now powers up to a Sad Mac, with error code 0000000F 00000003, which is apparently a "memory addressing error". I've removed all RAM, VRAM, and Nubus cards, but it gives the same error.

Does anybody know this error? Any tips on how to proceed with troubleshooting? There are no obvious physical problems that I can see, and I wouldn't expect cap damage on a 700? There's no battery leakage. I could bring it to a place with a scope, but I'm not sure where to start looking.

HUH! This is a weird one: I tried one of of my Macs (LC III), and it gave the chimes of death. Then I tried my Q650 and it gave the exact same error as my Q700!

It seemed strange that all of my Macs had died at the same time... but then I realized my tests had one thing in common: A brand new ZuluSCSI Blaster with a dump of my old SCSI2SD drive on it. And yes, apparently this was the cause. All three boot to blinking question marks after I removed that dump from the SD card. Very strange. I'll try to dig deeper and maybe make a different thread.

What do you mean by "dump"?

ZuluSCSI and SCSI2SD work very differently, I don't think there's any indication that the images are interchangeable?

I took the SD card and made a full copy of the entire drive (with dd on Linux) to a file, put that on the disk as HD2.img. Might've been naive...

The Quadra's fine, though. Phew.

It depends how exactly your SCSI2SD was set up, it might have worked, but extrapolating from available evidence... I'm going to say you didn't have it set up in a way that meant that worked
