trouble getting scsi2sd to initialize
Posted by: MinerAl on 2015-04-21 09:40:47
I haven't tried my SCSI2SD with any machine besides the 950, which hates it.  It won't boot with it anywhere on the SCSI chain.  Doesn't ignore it and boot from a good drive, but refuses to do anything when it's on there.  I'd assume it's a SCSI id issue, but even with nothing else connected to the ribbon cable (or externally), I get a :?:

Should my method of formatting it work(microSD in a USB adapter on a G4 with Mac OS X 10.2.8 as an HFS Standard (not plus) partition and then putting the generic 7.6.1 install on it), or do I need to do it on the SCSI chain of a classic Mac OS machine and use a (not pirated) SCSI format tool?

This thread helped with the same issue. Lido was a snap to initialize my SCSI2SD SD card. I used Lido's Easy Setup to format and assign a custom icon for each of my three volumes.
