Hi All,

My vintage Mac projects has been sidelined due to kids and other life stuff...

A few years back back I posted here about my trials with some parts that could possibly achieve a SE/40 with an Xceed card and Carrera040 accelerator. The thread is distilled down to that the Xceed+Carrera worked in my IIsi but not in SE/30. Here is a screen grab of the combo working on the IIsi:

The Carrera card does not officially support the SE/30 but does support the IIsi. At the time I wrote this up I only had the stock SE/30 ROM and a IIfx ROM...since then I acquired a IIsi ROM. Even with the IIsi ROM in the SE/30 I am still getting this error:

When OK is clicked, I get:

Sorry, a system error occurred.

“Startup Carrera”

address error

To temporarily turn off extensions, restart and hold down the shift key

(Restart)

The Carrera040 Control Panel and Init are available here and these 2 files support all the officially supported Macs: IIsi, IIci, IIcx and IIx.

Here is the "HAsk"...Hack Ask :)

Does anyone have the programming skills to hack the Carrera files such that the SE/30 could be supported?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

THx
