Hi, I have just bought an external 9GB Lacie scsi drive on Ebay. Problem is that I can't get the disk formatted on Mac OS 7.5.3 The apple Drive setup utility...
One side note, you will have to cut a number of partitions in the new drive before it will be usable. Mac's back then had 'dirty roms' that had built in...
One possible work around is to use an old Norton 'Wipe info' app to bring it to ground zero. If you have an old Norton Floppy with the wipe info app on it and...
OK, but why can my SE/30 with a IIfx ROM recognize a 9 GB External SCSI drive without partitions? --glen ... __________________________________________________...
... When the IIfx was designed, nobody expected it would ever be possible to give it a disk drive larger than 4G, so no provision was made for addressing the...
Hi, Can you believe I absolutely have no software for the old Mac's, including the Mac IIfx and SE/20. I only started about 6 months ago when restoring old...
Hi Glen, I have tried with the patching version of HDSC setup and I can format the disk. However I can't make partitions larger than 4GB. I wonder why as apple...
... My guess would be is the fx was designed for industrial purposes and the normal addressing limitations were not foist on that particular mac. Motorola used...
... Very likely, the termination on the LaCie will be active when the LED is on, but try it both ways and see if there's a difference. Probably, it won't...
Hi, You can find the document on partitioning from Apple at: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=8647 Quote: "A volume is either a full disk, or a...
... Nico, are you sure about having an SE/20? I dont recall Apple ever making one and I cant find one listed in Mactracker. Is it a slang term for one of the...
Hi Gaapa, It's just a Mac SE I have with 2MB ram and the 20MB lightscribe hard drive. http://www.lowendmac.com/compact/se.shtml It's sort of weird, on the case...
Nico - NO, the SE/30 cards will NOT fit in an SE without modification. You're probably gonna pay 6-8 times for the adapter than you did for the SE. =) Jer...
OK guys, I have an Asante 10baseT com slot adapter MC CS-10T new in box. Don't right now remember which old Mac it fits. Not all of them had Com Slots. Also...
Looks like Apple had some major qualifiers for that 2TB upper limit. Namely the computer had to have shipped with 7.5.2 or had to have PCI slots which probably...
, ... Don't remember what I used to format my 9 GB external that is recognized by my SE/30 with a IIfx ROM. It may have been Drive Setup from OS 8.1 or 8.6 or...
SE's with the Superdrives, were called SuperDrive and FDHD models. of the two, SuperDrive designation is harder to find. with just a 20 hard drive, I would up ...
Hi, I have stripped down my Mac SE again and it's an original SE model with 4MB Ram and the original lightscribe HDD in it. But apparently the previous owner...
... Good good. I have been working on macs since the Lisa and was fairly sure they didn't make an 020 mac. BTW, I did take a 256k Mac and rev it up with roms,...
... There are only two busses used in older macs, Nubus and PCI. There were some peculiar adaptations of Ethernet for Apple though, but not in the form of...
I actually have/had the ether net card for se 30 and I have a syquest 44 and 88 and at least 20 cartriges filled with software for vintage macs John Waterman...
I believe there was also a "PDS slot". I know the SE that became an SE/30 with a new board I had (well still have but need a new cathode ray tube) had one....
I remember adding Ethernet to the older Macs, the SEs and SE/30s, and it was quite an ordeal. Don't really remember what was involved on earlier machines,...
Hi, Guess what: I found one mint in the box. The adapter is a unique piece as the ethernet cards for the SE/30 are cheap but won't fit or work in a simple SE. ...
