Blizzard 1260 and scsi kit IV - getting the latest 1230scsi.device etc

[Angus]

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.

have you read the trouble shooting guide?

If you contact the author he may respond!;)

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.

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.
