Another issue with the 630 is support for the IDE hard drive. Since nearly all other 68k machines have SCSI support was lacking some places / times in the past. IIRC with netbsd 5 I could use the IDE drive but I needed to put the basic system root partition on a SCSI. I am not sure about this but be prepared
I have too many external SCSI drives may be able to let one go but only ship to US unless maybe through Ebay. > On Apr 28, 2014, at 2:35 PM, Perlpowers <perlpow...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi first time list user here, > > Recently I've been wanting to play around with my old 68k mac's again > and decided I wanted to try and put Debian on my old LC630. > Unfortunately on opening up my 630 I seem to possibly have one of the > defective 68LC040's (XC68LC040RC33B 02E23G QEUE9439A Malaysia) so I > was wanting to at least do a test boot to see if mine might not be > defective.
