BlueSCSi with Apple IIgs
Posted by: UnaClocker on 2023-10-30 18:19:42
Heya.. So I just scored myself a IIgs last week. Came with the Apple High Speed SCSi card as well as a 4mb ram expansion card. I got a BlueSCSi 2, but I'm not finding any IIgs drive images to put on it. I'm also having no luck installing GSOS 6.0.2 from the FloppyEMU onto it. Not showing up as an available drive. Anyone got a good image I can just boot from?

Have you confirmed that the BlueSCSI is receiving power? Is power connected to the drive via the power connector? Apple SCSI cards do not supply termination power without modification. Apple's cards use the standard Apple Partition Map layout, so you need to partition them using the Adv.Disk.Util program (on System Tools 1) before installing.

If you can, use the Live.Install image on the FloppyEmu in SmartPort mode. That way you'll have all the SCSI drivers running plus Adv.Disk.Util on all the same disk.
