Title: Trouble installing SD on mac SE
Post by: midipuppies on December 02, 2009, 11:06:15 AM
I finally got a copy of SD on floppy. When I try to install it on my Mace SE, it almost completes and then comes up with a fatal error every time.
I even tried another copy of the software with the same results.

Any ideas as to the problem?

install?!

I just copied the program to the se's harddisk from zip disk. That's all. I didn't have to "install" it.

?!?

details?

Ok, whatever. It won't run or copy to the H.D.
Just crashes after about 10 secs.

Where did you get your SD copy from?
maybe try another copy?

When does it crash ? During the copy ?

Yeah, if I try to run it or copy it to any location it starts to load for about 10 seconds, the screen starts to build and just when it looks as if it is fully load, it comes up with an error that says "illegal instruction. Restart"
I have tried a bunch of things like deleting all of the startup programs from memory and the like. Could it be bad software? Does anyone have a good copy for me to try?

Thanks, Jay

Maybe a stupid question, but why didn't you use the software that can be downloaded from the Yahoo EII group ? Because that one works for sure...
(is it because you don't have a way to get it into the Mac that way ?)

What Mac OS are you running on your SE?

exactly.

go get a macbook somewhere from a buddy of yours or something, then download the SD app to a SE(!)-formatted zip disk (-drive) connected via USB to the macbook. then copy the SD app to your MacSE via a scsi zip drive.
That's how I did it, worked fine.

Contact Rob at rob@emulatorarchive.com. I just purchased a custom made cable, and a copy of SD4EII on floppy last month.
