Unisyn 1.5

[supernova777]

lemme know if anyone is able to get this running 

[Syntho]

It works. The installer says [no k] on it but it works anyway. When I patch the program using the patcher, it crashes every time I open the patched file. Hmm...

[supernova777]

these files are from the garden, they were posted by tatamisia in his dp3stuff.sit

[Syntho]

Maybe the program is already patched somehow? It's an installer though so I don't see how... unless for some reason it's working because I already have 2.0 installed!

I'm not sure how I got this working on my OS9 system but I'd like to get it working again. The patcher doesn't seem to work and the instructions are vague. I thought that by having 2.0 installed it made it work, but I did the same thing again and it keeps telling me I need an authorization diskette.

[Syntho]

The patcher program included in that download link supposedly patches the program and makes a copy of it. The info on the patcher seems to indicate that after you run the patched program, it will authorize your HD and then you can run the unpatched version. Even though I patch the program and run the patched version, it still says that I need to authorize it with a diskette.

I have no idea how I got it working but I suspect that my copy of Unisyn 2.0 authorized my HD and allowed 1.5 to work.

Can someone test this out?

The chrisNova777 uploaded Unisyn 1.5 worked for me after two tries. I had to type something in the Challenge/Response dialog and then press Ok to authorize the app.

It won't load on my SATA drives since I have a PCI SATA card. It tells me that the destination disk doesn't exist. As soon as I load up my SCSI drive and try to authorize that one, it works 100%. I can actually currently run Unisyn from my SATA drive as long as I've got at least one HD in my system previously-authorized. However I leave my SCSI drive disconnected since it's LOUD, so turning off my SCSI drive won't allow me run it from my SATA drive.

I've got to figure out a workaround for copying over that authorization to one of my SATA partitions.

If you don't want the SCSI drive, pull out from inside the computer.  Turning on and off a drive is bad idea.

Any way, sorry Syntho but I can't help you. I really don't understand you setup...

[Syntho]

I have no idea what I did last time but I got the thing working without even using that patcher or anything. I wish I could remember.

i dont think the pci card would cause such issues.
if u look in system profiler it shows up as a scsi drive aswell
so that doesnt make any sense at all.

[Syntho]

Regardless of what it is, Unisyn isn't liking the SATA PCI card + SATA drive combo. It's fine on an internal SCSI drive, and I think it did better using IDE as well as long as it was internal. The exact error it gives me is, "Error while specifying your authorization. Specified volume doesn't exist. Result Code -35".

I wonder if I could bypass this with a SATA to SCSI adapter, if they even make one of those. I also have a USB/SATA adapter but I'm thinking that won't work at all seeing as USB was new at the time.

[supernova777]

it definately says it supports the 9600 on the box i have it in my hands as im writing this
but one thing i will note is that it says "mac os 9.0 through 9.2" and "mac os x version 10.3 or later"
it doesnt say it supports 8.6 on the box
this is the reason why i told u to go for the acard adapter
because the acard explicitly had support for 8.6
so that would be the cause of your problem right there
u cant use that tempo serial ata with os8.x

People are using this to run System 7 but there aren't any guarantees or support. The OS8/OS9 support thing doesn't matter anyway, I booted into OS9 and I get the exact same thing. Everything is working 100%, it's just that Unisyn itself doesn't like this PCI card regardless if it's OS9 or not.

it does matter, why do u think they say we only support it on os 9 because they dotn want to do technical support for all the problems and strangeness that can occur... u should have listened to me and got the ATA133 raid card by acard for that older system dude.
it was only 20$.. *sigh*

[Syntho]

Did you not read that I booted into OS9 and it does the same thing?

[supernova777]

did u not read that im saying u should have got the AEC-6880M
lol

[Syntho]

I wanted a SATA card in the end.

and so u should have one, just, not for that old machine;)
