Fantastic tale! This one has grit and spirit. Good show!

Someone here mentioned an Asante AppleTalk Ethernet bridge. Search "localtalk ethernet bridge" on YouTube for a few more videos or google the same.

If you have other compatible AppleShare capable Macs computers then AppleShare alone should be enough. The reason I prefer to install an FTP server is that it allows *any* client to connect, all the way up to the latest Mac/PC/Linux OSs etc because FTP clients allow for a vanilla FTP connection...

If you have the network issue resolved (sorry I only skimmed this thread). Install and run an FTP server on the Q800 — you can then move any files back and forth from any Mac/PC or whatever.

Hello JT737 If the file is corrupt I am afraid I won't be able to fix it. The files I offered came from a scrape of the waybackmachine so everything that could have ever been captured by the Internet Archive via the waybackmachine came down by my script but this doesn't mean that someone else...

Hello I will list off random things you can try, none of these suggestions are in a particular order so I suggest you read them first and decide which is the least disruptive. So things like resetting PRAM or NVRAM are quick. Ping can be quick as well to check for time outs etc. *** Is the...

I don't believe Apple relied on any third party unix as they had their own flavor, intact Apple once sold at least on of their SC drives, one of the 20, 40, 80, or 160 drives with A/UX preinstalled. I have a few things that I really would like to explore knowledge wise, to sort of resurface some...

Hi Boomer3200 Thank you for taking the time to summarize these findings, the knowledge is invaluable for anyone wanting to tinker and explore an old classic. I look forward to the new topic that you plan on posting sometime in the future. Thank you, much obliged.

Look for any debris that might be contributing to a short somewhere. Check all the solder joints that you've reworked or had to solder in. Check if no solder might have splattered where it shouldn't have but yes, double check your work.

Thank you for sharing this and for the reply. The machine looks marvelous. Good job!

Good grief! One never knows the gems that come out of these conversations. Thank you 360alaska! Downloading your share and I will add those missing schematics to my share incase.

Here are bunch of schematics, none of them unique. BOMARC included. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1VnDnfgf92viDq2Tl_wLvxx8I7tTjl89K?usp=sharing

How did you end up adjusting the hinges to loosen the grip. This is what I understand you did.

Not yet but I did ordered SuperLube 51010. Because I have so many other things on the go the package of Superlube remains unopened. I think about the project a few times a week so I know I have to get to it. I am privy to this post and once I get back to it I will absolutely update the progress...

What happens if you put back the original drive?
