DonвЂ™t use Mac OS X to format your CF card.

I partitioned the formatted CF card into 4 equal partitions, the first partition is the one your Mac will read by default.

Recent alpha releases of the emulator support (unstable) Mac. In addition to the Macintosh Plus, variations of Mini vMac can emulation the Macintosh 128K, 512K, 512Ke, SE and Classic models. The project's main goal being an accurate emulation of the Macintosh Plus computer.

Formatting the drive can take a while, especially if your CF card is large Mini vMac is an open source emulator of 68000 based Macintosh computers.

Harddisk formatting software, I used FWB Harddisk toolkit 1.6, others have successfully used Patched Apple Tools and Rob Braun recommends Lido 7.

Disk copy 6 (to create and open disk images).Other people have used an external SCSI drive like Syquest or Apple SC to format their CF cards but I could not find one so I used a Power Macintosh 7200/120 instead!

You need a Mac that can run Mac OS 7, 8 or 9 with a CD-ROM drive containing the software listed below, (you can use floppies, I didnвЂ™t, because I donвЂ™t own any). The CF-SSD when all setup looks like this:

More detail of the jumper settings can be found here. I still have an SE/30 somewhere but sadly I threw away the A/UX install disks. The jumper settings on the SCSI to IDE adapter are:

You also need a IDE to CF adapter, anything will do, I got mine from eBay for $2.

I-O DATA R-IDSC SCSI to IDE adapter (this is the most important component of the entire project), IвЂ™m indebted to the Rob Braun who wrote some very useful material on this subject, you will find his pages linked here and here.

CF card Transcend Industrial CF150 4Gb (Details here).

It was the first in a new family of Macs, and was the first Mac to ship in a tower case (a IIcx case on its side, with the label rotated 90 degrees). Attach a CompactFlash or SD card to the IDE interface (solid state storage, fortunately, the CompactFlash interface is based on IDE) The Quadra 700 was powered by a 0 processor, which included an FPU. Replace SCSI interface with IDE interface (this is by the far the most challenging and expensive component)Дў. The challenge is to replace the obsolete 50 pin SCSI interface with a modern interface and to replace spinning hard disk technology with solid state storage.ДЎ. Modern 68 and 80 pin SCSI drives are available for use in servers, however, they are very expensive, their capacity is far beyond that needed for a SE/30 and they donвЂ™t adapt easily to common interfaces like USB. While it is possible to buy second hand drives, but these are unreliable. It is difficult to buy new drives with a 50-pin SCSI interface. The 50-pin narrow SCSI hard disk interface found in the SE/30 is now obsolete.
