Howdy Folks,
So my resurrected battery bombed SE/30 continues to have BlueSCSI issues but after reflowing the SCSI chip it got a little...better? betterish?
So here are the symptoms:
With the caymac BMOW rom installed If I try to boot the external BlueSCSI from a cold boot it tries to boot disk 01 (7.1) for a moment before it restarts and then tries to boot disk 02 (7.5.5) and locks up.
However, if I go into the rom disk by pressing R on restart I boot to the desktop and low and behold all of my harddisk images are loaded, accessible, can be read from and written to. I can even use system picker and tell it to restart into Mac OS 7.1 (disk 01) and it will do it without any issues. I can play games I can can open utilities I even ran snooper from the bluescsi image and it reports no errors.
But as soon as I turn off the system, wait a few seconds, and switch back on I once again cannot boot from the BlueSCSI External (edit: actually it does this from the internal bluescsi too). If I turn off and on the system fast enough it will actually boot off the bluescsi without issues.
Any ideas where I should look? Am I better off just taking the whole scsi chip off cleaning and resoldering?
Any advice appreciated.
