| Help with BlueSCSI and Mac Plus |
Posted by: mloret on 2022-03-29 17:30:10
Hey there! I was trying to get my trusty bluescsi to work on my Mac Plus. I followed the instructions in the attached video. Good news--BlueSCSI gets power now that I added the diode. Bad news--with the SD card in the Mac Plus makes a horrific noise and the screen goes black. No floppy with a question mark, nothing. If I take the SD card out it gives me the floppy with a question mark. I suspect there's something wrong with the HDA images I'm using but not sure. Help? |

Hi,
It's very likely that the images you're using have the LIDO driver installed. This will not work with your Mac Plus.
See the Note under the section about the Plus: https://github.com/erichelgeson/BlueSCSI/wiki/Supported-Systems |

Never heard of these ROMinator kits but that's a fantastic idea - when my Classic's HD stopped working I remembered about its special System 6 in ROM - bam! Came right back to life. I've got a dual-floppy SE, maybe I should look into ROMinator for that.
I get a bad taste in my mouth looking at that painted Macintosh Plus. I suppose you aquired it looking like that? You'll be very happy with the one I'm sending you, as you can see from my profile pic here, it's rather clean & flawless. |

Is there anyway to remove LIDO? I have an HDA and it will not boot due to a LIDO install. At least that is what the BlueSCSI logfile is telling me. I can access the HDD by using a LIDO-less image to boot from and then access it. But I really want to use the other one to boot of? Or is it a file-system? Any ideas? Ty |

Ty Copy the files onto something else, say in an emulator like Basilisk II to another disk image, then reformat the SD card in the Plus with the cracked version of the apple tool, while booted from the other disk you mentioned, then copy the files back onto the disk image using Basilisk II? |

Yeah, was thinking about making an empty HDD and then copying it over. Cheers! |
