Dmian 🇪🇺<p>Got my BlueSCSI from <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@onegeekarmy" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>onegeekarmy</span></a></span> today! Really happy with it. I can’t use it right now (the Mac is disassembled waiting for a cleaning session), but will soon. 😊 <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/macplus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>macplus</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bluescsi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bluescsi</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/macintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>macintosh</span></a></p>
paulrickards<p>I plugged in a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BlueSCSI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlueSCSI</span></a> V2 external 25 pin into the dock and I now get this icon with a flashing arrow for about 5 seconds or so. It then boots from the internal drive as before: SCSIProbe shows devices at IDs 1 and 4 (BlueSCSI HD and network) but no names, no drives.</p><p>What does that icon mean?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MARCHintosh</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a></p>

Daniele Verducci 🧉It's week end, so again on the <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/powerbook" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#powerbook</a> 170. <br>I removed the cmos battery to avoid future leaks, and made the trackball finally work replacing a capacitor and cleaning/re-setting all the connectors.<br>Now on the <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/bluescsi" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bluescsi</a>. No way to make this thing to boot from it. I tried formatting the virtual disk from the 170 instead of creating from the pc. It formats but then while copying the files I have a lot of i/o errors. It seems like it bursts for some seconds and then hangs. The OS seems waiting a bit and then showing the error, maybe after a <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/scsi" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scsi</a> timeout...<br>Not sure how to troubleshoot this.
