I've successfully set up a ZuluSCSI RP2040 with a Quadra 650, installing MacOS 7.6.1 and a range of software.
However, perhaps I shouldn't have opted for the 500MB default (in Disk Jockey) when creating the original .hda virtual hard disk file, I've started running out of "disk" space ;-)
Does anyone know any easy way to expand the size of the .hda file to something closer to 2GB ?
(I've tried creating an empty file using dd, and then using "cat blanks.img >>" to add it to either the end of the HD1.hda or or the filestsystem.img file)
Understood that I could add a second .hda file, but would prefer to have a single disk/partition if possible,
Ideas appreciated ... | Posted by: Qrani on 2023-04-24 09:23:23
Add another, with a larger size, and copy all your files to it, then remove the previous one | Posted by: pdyholman on 2023-04-24 09:53:52
Add another, with a larger size, and copy all your files to it, then remove the previous one Ha - I'd forgotten how straight forward some of these things are on simpler/more elegant operating systems. Thanks, @Qrani !
(My only problem was that I formatted the "new" drive with a new name, which caused some aliases to break, however all OK now) | | 1 |
