Title: Blizzard 1260 and scsi kit IV - getting the latest 1230scsi.device etc
Post by: Angus on October 21, 2006, 11:12:28 AM

Hi,

I want to try and upgrade the rom on my Blizzard 1260 and scsi kit, but I'm scared I might render one or both of them useless if the process doesn't go to plan.

The reason I want to do this is that although otherwise the scsi side is absolutely fine, I can't play cd audio when emulating a Mac with Shapeshifter.

Can anyone give me some first hand advice on the process or point me at a very reassuring walk through?  :)

Thanks.

I never could get audio over SCSI to work on my Blizzard 2060, device version 8.5. Is that what you try to get to work? I don't know if it was the device driver or that CD-Rom player I used. So I had to use the audio cables to get the sound to work.

Yes, thanks I have read those but there doen't appear to be anything that actually addresses the problem.

@zipper

Sorted!

Well, almost.

I'd be interested to know if thois works for you, assuming you are still in the Mac emulation business.

I got an Apple CD ROM driver from here:

Actually I got both the Apple ones just close to the top, but I probably only needed the first one. Anyway, suddenly using Shapeshifter's Direct scsi option, I could play my audio CDs.

But would you believe Settlers 2, the game that I really wanted to have background music for, now refuses to load, unless I go back to Shapeshifter's internal CD driver - which of course means no CD Audio. Oh well, at least Warcraft's music works great now, so I'm seeing this as a victory.  :)
