Since I got my Lisa up and running, I have been plagued with file system issues.

Any copy of large files or large numbers of files will cause a number of errors.

I thought I might have a bad ESProfile but I purchased a second one, it came from a different maker with a different set of images but I am still having problems.

I am wondering if perhaps my frequency generator daughter board, I got from Retro, is bad?

Today, I tried making a Mac Works 3.0 volume from scratch following the instructions posted here. It made the volume. I copied over the system folder, but I got a very distorted screen on the attempted boot.

I have run my Lisa for days at a time, and it works fine for some of the small applications I have been able to copy to the profile image or run off of floppies (MacWrite, LisaWrite, SimCity). I have 3 CPU cards one with a 16mhz accelerator and they all seem to run fine just with storage issues.

I mounted a known-good disk image from a friend with my BlueSCSI, and I also get errors when trying to copy large files (or large numbers of files) to and from this volume.

I have 3 RAM boards including an AST ram board and have swapped all of them with no change of symptoms.

I have used Micro SD cards of 5 differn't brands, all formated FAT32 from the factory, or Window OS or the special SIM CARD FORMATTER application. I have used SD cards from standard speeds all the way up to A1 and A2 V30.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The first image is what I got after making the MacWorks 3 ESProfile volume from a blank .image and FloppyEMU MacWorks 3 floppy images.

The other images are of limited use as I don't have documentation on what I was doing when these occurred but perhaps they might spir some ideas.

Configuration:

Lisa 2/10 with frequency generator installed on I/O board. HROMs
2x ESProfiles
FloppyEMU
1 CPU board with 16mhx Xlerator & SCSI & BlueSCSI
2 stock CPU boards
2 stock RAM board
1 1.5meg RAM board
Good recapped PSU 1.8a
Mac Plus extended Keyboard with Lisa Keyboard Adapter
Lisa 1 replica mouse (modern mouse)

Update.

I found some working MacWorks + II images (working for FloppyEMU) and successfully created a new 10meg profile image.

It booted into MacWorks but after a power-off and start up is giving a HD 85 error.

If I "continue" it does boot into MacWorks (odd eh?)

Cant test file copies right now, I have to get back to work.

I think your "out of disk space" error is because of the size of the BlueSCSI disk image exceeding the max size that System 7.1 can handle. I believe 7.1 can only go up to 2GB, and when you try to copy to a larger image, you get errors like that. Try installing Mac OS 7.5 instead; it supports disks up to 4GB and that should allow you to copy everything over just fine.


Note that you'll need MacWorks Plus II 2.5.3 (the version from 2011) instead of 2.5.0 in order to boot 7.5.5 without upgrading your SCC to the Z85230. There's a Floppy Emu-compatible download somewhere on this forum. You can see which version you have in the little box on the boot screen.

Thanks!

I will look for the image.

I have only found a compressed file that has a file inside of it not a disk image.
