    Issues with Novy Quik30 & Mac Plus

    Closing out on this one, it turns out the hard disk that came with the unit was trash. It would start up, but never get fully there. After doing some work on it, I determined that it's beyond spending my time on (Quantum ProDrive LPS 100MB). I've got the thing working great on a 40MB Quantum...

    Issues with Novy Quik30 & Mac Plus

    Hi all! New to the site here, looks to be a lot of great information. Trying to relive my teenage years working on a Mac Plus with a 68030 accelerator card in it, which I believe to be a Novy Quik30. To preface, I'm able to boot the external hard disk on a Mac Classic II just fine, so we know...
