Re: Quadra 800 questions
I loaded A/UX 3.x on my aws95 machine using a 6x or 8x apple rommed drive with no dificulties or hacking (just used the boot floppy and original install cd).

Booting Quadra 800 from CD [was Re: Quadra 800 CD audioconnections?]
On 28 March 2002 in response to my question: ...will this [Quadra 800] boot from a CD? I have made a CD copy of the system folder (7.5.1), but it won't boot the machine even when it's set as the startup disk (SCSI ID is 3). I can't seem to bless the system folder, either on the Quadra or by copying it to an iMac, so I guess this could be the reason it won't start from the CD. Any ideas? the pickle wrote: What are you using to make the CD? Older versions of Toast (prior to 4) had some quirks that made the creation of bootable CDs a rather black art. Problem more or less solved. I'm using Toast 5 Titanium, so that wasn't the issue. The difficulty I had was in creating a blessed System folder with a Mac face on it. The iMac seemed reluctant to do this (I guessed because 7.5.1 68k won't run on the iMac, though I'm sure someone will correct me), and I had trouble doing it on the Quadra because I don't have a removable drive attached. Anyway I got there in the end -- not sure how. Once I had a face on the System folder, Toast created a bootable CD without problems. My version is very flaky, perhaps because I have the wrong CD driver extensions. When I boot from the CD, opening or closing windows by double-clicking the CD icon itself appear to put away the CD, and the system crashes. However, in the Apple menu I placed aliases to folders and applications such as Norton, and these open and close OK. Strange stuff, but probably easily solved with an overhaul of my ancient and borrowed copy of 7.5.1. My question was really whether the Quadra was capable of booting from a CD, and evidently it is. End of problem, but thanks for your attention. Out of interest, what's the best OS to run on this machine? It originally came with 7.1, and I found 7.5.1 worth the upgrade -- very stable. I guess Systems 7.6 and 8 brought further improvements, but I never got around to trying them. -- -- Charles Butcher Coventry, UK -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
