Hi Johnklos,

I put the SSD into a USB/SATA case and then partitioned it using Linux Gpartd with hfsutils to create 2 x 2G HFS Partitions on drive.

I then created a 1GB HFS drive image via M68K DiskCopy using Basilisk II (emulator) and copied System 7.5.3 into this.

In creating the HFS image, it comes up with a number of options on whether to create a partition table, MBR etc. I selected the "No Boot Record" (or equivalent) option, which I assume means I will end up with a straight serial byte stream, that I can then use to do a Unix DD copy onto one of the 2G partitions on the drive.

NOTE: I was not able to create a 2GB image as it resulted in a complaint about there not being enough disk space (even though I have nearly 1TB of free disk...).

To copy the image onto disk I presume I just do dd in= out=/dev/

Unfortunately in the mean time I seem to have broken my SE/30 when I pulled it apart to do some case surgery so I could fit in 16MB RAM modules (the SIMMs where just touching pressed metal ridge which means I needed to do some metal work....), so am not going to do more testing until I get this resolved,

Cheers,

Zebity
