![]() ![]() ![]() I inserted a cartridge, slid the Load/Unload lever all the way to the right, and waited expectantly for the disk to mount on the desktop. I powered down, plugged in the EZ-135 (ironically, I connected it to the middle of an external SCSI chain that was terminated by an Iomega Zip-100!) and rebooted once again.Īs you can see below, the SilverLining Lite control panel recognized the new comer to the chain and displayed it at SCSI ID 5: Following my nose, and knowing that it was a control panel, I copied it to the System folder and restarted the Mac.Īfter a successful boot sequence, SilverLining Lite did show up in the Control Panel DA as expected. Finally, but happily, the SilverLining Lite utility did run. The “readme” file… wouldn’t let me! It too crashed the machine. The whatscsi.id utility crashed the machine, necessitating a restart to recover control. This was a minimal experience on System 6. I copied these files over to the IIsi and gave them a whirl. You will recall from the earlier posts in this series that this was a set of three files (vs. This post examines how well that support really works on a real world System 6 machine, the Happy Macs lab Macintosh IIsi.Īs with the initial Mac OS 8.6 testing of the EZ-135, the first thing to do was to install the software. The EZ-135 retail box (see below) states that support is provided from System 6.0.5 onwards, and so the game was on. However, with all the work this blog has done recently on System 6, I could not leave the EZ-135 topic without seeing how it would perform under System 6. At this point in our series on the SyQuest EZ-135, we have looked at the history and market results of the product, have installed it onto a Mac OS 8.6 Power Macintosh 7500/366 and run performance benchmarks between the EZ-135 and its primary competitor of the day, the Iomega Zip-100.
