Welp... Now I can't reproduce it. 🤷‍♂️ So weird. I could consistently reproduce it the other day and now the issue seems to have vanished. My favorite kind of issue lol

If any of you want to fix the issue where the powerbook freezes up (for several minutes) after waking the powerbook from sleep, I came up with a hack workaround "fix"... The issue is that when you wake up the powerbook, the Pi Pico doesn't boot up fast enough when the powerbook "spins up the...

Ahhh I can try that. Yeah, no way to see what the driver is? Not even on a modern machine with a hex editor or something? I’ve been beating on it copying folders etc and it’s fine. So seams like it was specific to that image. Could the extension matter at all? .hda vs .img. I figured if I...

So the only thing holding me back from installing a pico W internally for Wi-Fi in the PB180 instead of an external db25 is two things. • The initial wifi connect has been a bit spotty. As mentioned I can monitor it connecting from my iPhone app upon powering up the BlueSCSI before plugging it...

Ok my bad on MacTCP it looks like… just got it working on system 7.1. It uses much less ram and seems zippier than OT. A good choice for a ram starved PowerBook 180. that multiple folder copying thing is still a mystery. Just wanted to put it out there incase someone wanted to try to reproduce...

I got some time in today to try out the latest firmware with a BlueSCSI DB25 and a pico W. I set it up so it connects to my router and I can watch it connect form my iPhone when I power it on. It works well under System 7.1 with Open Transport (I used the installers on the "HD4 BlueSCSI v2...

Yeah, I removed it. Too buggy. Lots of illegal instructions using ram hungry apps like Bryce, Premeire etc.

Ahh I didn’t think about that. I’ve been experimenting with it. Seems to work ok as a solution until you come out with a PowerBook 100 series ram expansion 😜.

Curious what would be faster to increase your physical ram from 8 MB to 16 MB using either 32 but addressing and virtual memory or using Connectix RAM doubler. I’m sure a BlueSCSI is faster than a physical HD but is it as fast as SSD and how much slower is it than physical RAM? Connectix RAM...

Heres a 2GB-> https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/34it8rpjdt3der6v5rf8q/HD20-2GB.img.zip?rlkey=dmsnsdcs5x4myuc63biyav2cv&dl=0

I think I am good with 1GB images. Ill convert these 500MB images to 1GB and button it back up.

Yeah I will get it to you in a minute

Well it is happy with a 1GB image.. just hates the 2GB.

I suppose I could try a 1GB image

Yeah I tried a single image, same issue, I tried switching to 7.5.3 as well. I think I am going to pass on the firmware update because it will require me to open the machine all the way up again. i've got it cracked open JUST enough to get to the SD card with tweezers.

OK done. Still no go as a boot disk. No error file, only a log file generated, attached

Hmm well shoot… yeah exactly. I’ve opened it up and back about 10 times now probably! had to fix the board, put a new button cell battery in and then mucking around with the BlueSCSI. Debating if I do it one more time…. ** OK I'm going in one more time! LOL at least now I have a technique where...

I’ll probably open it back up again tomorrow and remove the init, log, and error files and add an additional 2GB image to experiment with since it mounts ok. Not sure about updating the firmware. I wonder if the April 10 version that’s on it is recent enough. The main concern is is probably have...

just found this thread on the error code I was getting: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/mac-iici-startup-sad-mac-error-code-0000000f-00007fff.6165/ Looks like it might be a system file issue. The system on my current 500MB disk image is system 7.1 with the required system enabler...

DARN i just put it all back together again. Getting a little concerned about taking the thing apart and back so many times. Considering throwing in the towel on this one since two 500MB internal drives is plenty. But I am curious why it isn't working so I'm on the fence... It's too bad you have...
