RE: Macintosh IIvx system 7.5.3 plus Debian
How broken is the OS? There is a tool called "dropdisk" which will mount
floppy images, presuming the machine functional enough to talk on a network
so you can download it.
If the CD has a system folder, you may be able to boot from it.
As for scsi drives, you can use just about any scsi 2 drive, the drive needs
to be jumpered for power-on spinup. Other than that I've never encountered a
SCSI drive a Mac cannot use.
However, for drivers, Apple's init tool will only work on Apple supplied
drives, unless you get the patched version.
The patched Apple utility the best choice, as many of the driver venders
have disappeared, and the ones still around probably don't supply anything
that can run on the old systems.

Subject: Macintosh IIvx system 7.5.3 plus Debian
Hello,
I have the Macintosch IIvx and a broken OS on it.
Now I have had time to download a newer version of the sytem 75.3.
I have all on one CD but how can I make The Floppys to reinstall
the System ?
Where can I get the List, which SCSI disks are supported ?
I was searching on apple but without success.
The current one has 47 MBytes and I have one DPES from IBM, which
will be a nice Systemdisk for Debian...
Many Thanks in advance
Michelle
