Are you trying to directly boot the Lisa from the SCSI card?  or using a MW boot floppy and then booting from the SCSI drive?

FYI, unlike a par port drive, Lisa can't directly boot from a SCSI drive without a QuickBoot ROM on the Sun card, or a LSAC card for the Xlerator SCSI port.

     Try using the slot that is covered. That is where my SCSi card is seated.
      Good luck. I enjoy all your posts.

Hello everyone!

I just recieved a new Sun Remarketing Lisa SCSI card from Vintage Micros.

The card looks great but it is giving me a Card Error 92 on bootup.

I tried to bypass the error and boot to my XLerator 16 SCSI (with BlueSCSI) but it would not boot.

I am choosing option 4 (fast ram, Sun SCSI) or option 1 (fast mode only)

I have tried it with and without a known good BlueSCSI module.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks!

IIRC, the ProFile controller board has a reputation for developing a bad contact causing this sort of symptom. The solution may be as simple as reseating the socketed chips on the controller (ie. pry both ends of each chip slightly out of the socket, and optionally push them back in).

Thanks. The problem happens with different boards, so I'm pretty sure it's the HDD

IIRC, the Z8 piggyback comes in 4k and 8k variants (or is it 2k and 4k?); the 10 MB ProFile uses the larger variant, while the 5MB ProFile uses the smaller variant. I believe one can use the larger variant in the 5MB ProFile, but the ROM needs to be adjusted to suit.

Yes., from what I read is 2k for the 5MB and 4k for the 10MB. I have the 4k. People have been succesful LL formating a 5MB with the 4k chip, but I need to read all the details. I have a EPROM programmer on order

I'm afraid I now need to do a LL format to clean up the disks, as the HDD does not come ready any longer.

learning how to do this with BLU and the Zilog Z8613 piggyback trick. Fortunately I happened to have one on my 10MB Profile.

And as a note for anyone else who sees this in the future: this image should also work on Cameo/Aphid, ArduinoFile, and any other ProFile emulator that uses raw disk images.

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.

Attached is a ESProfile Disk Image Mac Works Pro II System 7.1.1

I made this because I could only find System 6x ESProfile images.

It is System 7.1 plus the System 7 Tune Up 1.1.1 as recommended in the Mac Works Pro II documentation.

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.

Attached are some MacWorks Plus II disk images that work with FloppyEMU rev C, Lisa Emulation.

The ones provided in the LisaList2 Macworks download section do not work with my FloppyEMU as of the date of this post.
