| Posted by: SE30_Neal on 2018-08-11 07:46:33 Rominator II on 7.5.5 these settings dont look the same as bigmessofwires says it should be I’m trying to tweak the setting as per instructions on there site so i can install the rominator II with my 128mb ram. advice please from anyone else who’s successful managed this? thank you  | |
| Posted by: olePigeon on 2018-08-13 11:14:24 @SE30_Neal Check your PMs. You shouldn't need any ResEdit hackery unless you're doing specific modifications. All you need is a 32-bit clean ROM. | |
| Posted by: Bolle on 2018-08-13 12:22:25 I was under the impression that you do need to edit the boot routine as well if you are using 7.5 on a SE/30, IIx or IIcx with IIsi ROM. The screenshot looks just the way it should be to me though. Just replace the last 03 with 05 in the line starting with 000018. Just as they say you should. | |
| Posted by: SE30_Neal on 2018-08-13 12:47:18 Yes it wouldn’t boot into the rominator, that said I would need to remove mode32 before trying again. Yes 7.7.5 needs a tweek according to the bigmessowires site but wasnt a 100 clear what to change. So i was in the right area then | |
| Posted by: olePigeon on 2018-08-13 12:54:41 Oh, OK. I didn't realize it had to be modified to run 7.5. Interesting. | |
| Posted by: SE30_Neal on 2018-08-13 12:57:08 Only on 7.5.3 upwards i think. I will try again, im just happy its working with the 128mb installed, networking is next challenge | |
| Posted by: olePigeon on 2018-08-13 13:05:37 Is there something in 7.5 that you need that 7.1 Pro won't do? Typically that's partitions large than 2GBs. 7.1 to me almost always seems like a better choice for a 68k Mac II even with obscene amounts of memory. 🙂 Also, I always love seeing an old 68k Mac with 128MBs. It's just a hilariously huge amount of RAM. | |
| Posted by: SE30_Neal on 2018-08-13 13:15:02 7.5.5 is down to my desire to use it as a email client and getting online so the latest software is the better for that Even know i’ll probably need to use either my imac g3 or macmini as pass through server because off SSL. yes 128mb is awesome 🙂 why just because lol it’s actually 4 x more that i have in my performa 6200 and that pleases me a lot 🙂 | |
Posted by: ktkm on 2018-08-29 12:56:15i’ll probably need to use either my imac g3 or macmini as pass through server because off SSL.Sounds interesting! I’d like to try something similar. How does it work? | |
| Posted by: SE30_Neal on 2018-08-30 10:13:38 Hi Ktkm, good question i’ve not got to that part myself yet as i haven’t got my se/30 network card setup yet but in theory you use the moderm machine as the SSL and authentification as the mail server and tgen push to the old macintosh | |
