| Macintosh SE/30 and ROM GGLABS MACSIMM |
Posted by: beddy on 2017-03-23 15:18:53
Hello !
I bought a ROM GGLABS MACSIMM to 2 reasons :
- Expand memory over 8Mb
- Boot in Hard Drive mode with my Floppy Emul
The seller told me that IIsi ROM is flashed on it and tested.
But something is curious :
When I boot on floopy disk it's ok.
Now if I try with the hard drive, the message "Welcome to Macintosh" is showed but nothing happens.
idem with Floppy Emul in hard drive mode.
Notice : When I boot on floppy disk I can't see any SCSI device.
Have an idea about my problem ?
Tks
Eddy

Wow, I didn't know GGLABS copied doug's Mac ROM SIMM. Interesting...
Did you remove the MODE32 from the system first?

Also, you may need to perform the Gamba resedit hacks if you are running a system that requires them. It's also possible that you need to do a universal installation of your system software as well. http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/os8_se30.html

Would you have to do the same stuff with the Rominator II? or does it work a different way?

It works the same way. Infact, even if you use an original Apple IIsi or IIfx ROM SIMM, you still have to perform the patches.

This may or may not help...
I had an SE/30 and bought a ROMINATOR II and had some very interesting results:
-It booted just fine from the ROM ([apple]+[r])
-It would refuse to boot from SCSI with any system higher than 7.1
-It would boot higher versions of 7 from floppy and would install without error, then simply refuse to boot to the device installed upon.
-I tried it with or w/o Mode32 in sys folder
-It had none of these problems booting from the original ROM
Seems like I found a posting somewhere online about differences in SE/30 logicboards (Dark vs light green). Mine it would seem was "dark" (and dated 1989). I'm writing this from a foggy memory 😉 so I hope it at the very least may point you in a helpful direction. Th machine was configged as such:
-128MB RAM
-Nothing in PDS slot
-SCS2SD (configged for ID2 and ID0)
Good luck. 🙂

Did you do the software patches that are required?

So, basically what I was suggesting above? You really will need to do the software patches... ResEdit isn't that difficult to use, and infact I think it is a very fun tool to use! If you need some help with ResEdit, I could help you.

Hey hunter44102! Great link! (for the sake of the original poster) Wish I had found it or it had been up when I was fiddlin' with the SE/30.
I gave all my old Macs to my Uncle Steve (Who really collects Macs) and have gone pretty much Amiga and Apple IIgs w/ a smatter ing of 8-bit A2, C64.
Only mac I have now is a very nice Plus Uncle Steve sent to live with me. (Was thinking about doing the ROMinator on it). The Plus sits with a single Atari ST as examples of "Other beloved 16-bit machines." 🙂 Gotta draw the line somewhere, one could end up buried in old boxes and not even have time to actually turn one on and enjoy it.
