Let's just call it The Macintosh Challenge. Apple dropped the name pretty much at around their Intel move :)

Alright, issue solved. Images are mounting as soon as I installed the patched CD-ROM extension 5.3.1 on OS 7.1 and rebooted. Mind you, this is the version recommended for System 6 and low memory Macs according to the guide eric linked to above (see post #2). Btw, my IIci has 32 MB. Not sure that...

Alright, a little step further. Tools like Lido now show a CD ROM device on the assigned ID. But nothing ever gets mounted on the desktop. Hmmm.... Just tried another image (X-Wing) but same thing. Could anyone please link to an iso file known to work? Just want to make sure its not an iso issue.

I long for those days as well. They turned the "information superhighway" into an commercialized sales highway. Let's remember the original idea - making information accessible to everyone, by everyone, regardless of their location, education etc. That battle has been lost, it's now a...

@eric - thanks for confirming! Two images I've tried unsuccessfully: 1st download: http://macintoshgarden.org/games/super-wing-commander 1st download: http://macintoshgarden.org/games/spaceship-warlock Maybe we can do this the other way around - could you please link to an image on the Mac...

Running RaSCSI-Version: 21.12.1 6f92814. Should be about a year old, but you know - never change running a system. Any known issues with this version and CD-ROM images working? I did NOT have the patched CD-ROM drivers installed. Downloaded and installed them. But doesn't help either. NO CD-ROM...

Well, the title sums it up pretty much I guess. I've been downloading CD-ROM images from the Mac Garden, transferred them to the RaSCSI and mounted them via the RaSCSI web interface. They do, however, not show up on the Desktop of my System 7 Mac. CD-ROM Software is installed. SCSI ID scans do...

Thanks @rjkucia. The ag net tools you linked to (thank you!) unfortunately require System 7 and extensions like Thread Manager according to the readme, so no-no for my System 6 SE. But I'm going to check out the Dayna Utilities. Thanks! If somebody else has a suggestion, please feel free to...

@retr01 I manually assigned 192.168.1.101 as an IP address for the SE within the MacTCP control panel. This LAN IP is unused. The SE's self-assigned LAN IP doesn't show up on my routers web interface, but then it doesn't directly connect to the router, so that should be OK. Tried @rjkucia's...

Hi @retr01, appreciate your help! Tried the auto DHCP option. Didn't work either, but no surprise, hm? I think I've read plenty of times that MacTCP requires the good old manual setup. Can I help locating the mentioned tool? Any idea what it is called or who made it?

First off, thank to @retr01, @rjkucia and @landogriffin for trying to help! I had been busy with other things lately, but finally get the time to sit down at the SE again! To answer all your questions - yes, using the DaynaPort drivers referenced in the RaSCSI manual. The RaSCSI interfaces with...

Update. Had the chance to tinker some more with it yesterday evening. As you suggested @retr01 I hooked up the Netgear FS-105 in between the RaSCSI and my Netgear GS305. Connected the RaSCSI to the IIci. Booting System 6.0.8 and using MacTCP for connection. Bam. I'm online. So, the new-old...

Thanks for your efforts to help @retr01, really appreciate it! I've actually dug out my Mac IIci and put it up next to the SE, to help me narrowing down the problem. I've installed System 6.0.8 on the IIci, the same network extension as on the SE and connected the RaSCSI. Now, lo and behold...

My Netgear FS-105 arrived yesterday. I hooked it up in between my old Netgear switch and the RASCSI. Switched all on (RaSCSI, the two switches) and booting the SE, double-checking the above settings in MacTCP. Then trying to ping and .... again I get 100% lost packets. I went and double checked...

@retr01 - thank you very much for your detailed message. I just bought a FS105 for next to nothing and will report back once I received it and placed it "in-between".

@retr01 It's a Netgear GS305.

@skate323k137 - thanks for the suggestion. I'll try tcpdump and see what I can get from that. You don't happen to know anyone who has done this successfully with a Plus/SE and who might let us glimpse on his settings? @landogriffin - I've tried my luck with the docs you linked to before...

Thanks for sharing your experience, skate. Seems to me you were even a step further than me (like I said, i only get 100% lost packets). I was under the impression "lots of enthusiasts" were using their RaSCSIs to connect their Mac Pluses and Mac SE's to the world. But now I'm wondering - has...

Been trying to get my MacSE online for some time now using MacTCP 2.1 but can't get it to work. I've read online tutorials, including the official one and asked in other places, but I have been unable to solve the problem. Maybe one of you guys can help me out? The general setup: The Mac SE...

Hey everyone, could need a good advice on my attempt to mount iso images via RaSCSI on my IIci running 7.1. Here's what I got: - I've copied the iso images to the Pi via the RaSCSI Web Control Panel. - They show up fine in the RaSCSI Web Control Panel and I can mount them there. - On the IIci...
