I just added an Ehman 60+ HD to my 512KE (MagicSCSI.) I am running Finder 5.5 and System 4.1 (the most advanced Apple recommends on the 512KE.) Sometimes (yesterday) it works fine, I can copy to it, boot from it, copy from it, all just fine. Sometimes, however... Like today. I'm trying to copy things over to it so I can stop using floppies except for transport. At the end of every-other copy it dies with a system error #02 (improper mem. write, if I remember correctly.) Eventually it required reinitialization. So now I have 62 meg worth of useless memory under my machine. I tried reformating on this machine (the disk came pre-formated) and testing, and found no bad blocks and the format went just fine. At this point I'm getting a little frustrated. Has anyone else had this problem, and, if so, did you find a fix? I couldn't decide if this was a hardware or a system problem, so I'm posting it here. Mail or posting is ok, if there is any usefull mail I'll summarize. Summary: Can not copy to HD. Mac512 with 128k ROMs and 800k drive. Works fine without HD. Ehman 60+ hd, new (installed Thursday night.) SCSI id#6, terminated.
