Well, i dug out my old miniscribe drive which i was able to hook in place of the CDrom and to start up the machine.
i fixed the system folder on the internal drive which caused it not to startup, it just needed "blessed" but there are numerous problems with the drive though, so i definately have to reformat it.
So, i hooked the CDrom back up and powered up the machine. this machine has FWB CD-ROM toolkit installed, which handles the CD drive i guess.
it seems that EVERY CD that i burned on the ibook with toast or with disk utility, this machine keeps picking the disc up as "unreadable by this machintosh, initilize macintosh 700mb. of course it cant. haha. so it ejects it.
But if i stick in REAL mac CDs like my OSX disk or OS9 disk or burned copy of OS8 whcih was made on a PC years ago using bit copy. it will pick those up just fine and dandy.
This could be the main reason why the SE/30 aint booting from the disks im making, heck the OS dont even recognize it. Funny thing is, the emulation picks up and wroks wtih the disks fine. tells me its not "true" emulation then, at least of the drivers and drives.
any ideas?
