Progress - almost there! I used CiderPress to convert GS/OS 6.0.1 Disk 2 from 2MG format to DiskCopy 4.2 format. I then copied the the DC42 file over to a Mac SE and made an 800K d…

No LocalTalk-to-Ethernet bridge, unfortunately. Thanks for the offer of the CFFA, but I don't think I'll need it. Hopefully I can use the chain of tools I described above to make a…

If you're in the area, you can borrow my CCFA.  That'll get you going at least.  From there you can make floppies.

Possibly a long shot, but do you happen to have lying around from your Mac-hacking a Localtalk-to-Ethernet bridge? If you can lay your hands on one you can use the project files fo…

Thanks. So I'm thinking I need to do this: 1. Install a IIgs emulator 2. Import the Apple SEA archive into the IIgs emulator 3. Run the SEA to uncompress it into an uncompressed…

All the original files from Apple are 800k Disk Copy 4.2 images in self extracting archives. To install on a HD you need all 6 disks. Disk 7 is used for AppleShare servers only. Di…

OK, I'm a bit confused how to get GS/OS 6.0.1 onto this machine. Looking at the Apple mirror here: http://asa.max1zzz.co.uk/English-North_American/Apple_II/Apple_IIGS_System_6.0.1/…

OK, I see how it is. That second card... It's a 16GB? Since it crashes, something is wrong with the partition and formatting. The one that does boot (I'm assuming it too is a CF),…

Questions on the Lisa 1.8 power supply — #6

I'm sure you've got this covered but just in case, there is also a front cover switch that acts the same way as the back switch in killing the power supply.  You have to "fake out"…

I didn't address your post properly. I apologize. There were RAM cards in the 5300/3400/Kanga. I had reseated the one in the 5300 after the problem and before posting, so I didn…

Questions on the Lisa 1.8 power supply — #3

You mean these guys?  ...and do the lower numbers have any significance (do I have to find one that matches 8426, or just a 2N6308?)

For a 5300 or any NON-OSX System 8GB is more than enough. Anything more is just a waste unless you want OSX on a G3 and 16GB would be a minimum for that.

Raoulduke, you misread my post. In "RAM Card in the 5300", is there added RAM in the system, if so, is that card loose? It is not the CF FlashRAM card or PCMCIA slot. Only way to t…

You should be able to petition it into 2gb partitions. If that's not going to work a smaller card should, although you may need a third party formatting software either way.

I've been talking to the company that sold me the adapter.  They suggested I try a smaller memory card.  Is 16gb too much for OS 9?  If there's a maximum I would imagine it's way m…

I wasn't too clear, but I was sort of inferring the same thing.  I think the compliance issue goes beyond Cardbus, though - since it hasn't worked properly on either the 3400 or Ka…

I discovered I can hit control+reset on the IIgs and get a BASIC prompt. Who needs startup disks?! Wow, I wish the Mac had as much useful stuff built into ROM.
