A few weeks ago I posted about reviving my old Apple IIGS. The good
news is, the MicroDrive card I ordered works. After configuring the
dip switches to match Slot 5 (one of the few open slots the IIGS has
free), I was able to boot back into GS/OS.
The bad news is, I'm not able to access the contents of my SCSI drive,
which is connected to a RamFAST SCSI card (version C). It does attempt
to boot up from the RamFAST SCSI card, but errors out when it attempts
to load an extension called Transprog.
A few other items of note:
My IIGS battery has completely lapsed. I need to find a replacement
battery (the one I had installed was a NiteOwl battery many, many
moons ago) so I can preserve the Control Panel settings. Anyone know
where I can purchase one?
The 3.5" drive works, but refuses to eject when a disk is inside. The
3.5" drive does not mount its disk on the desktop, when booting from
the MicroDrive. Is this because I installed the MicroDrive in Slot 5,
and set it to "Your Card" in the Control Panel?
Thanks in advance for any insight!
