thanks! they're uploaded and being processed right now :)

no problem! always glad to increase the amount of preserved obscure software in the world. :)

Here's Gobe 2.0 and Corum III in bin/cue format.

ah, no, we're very normal and ended up compiling cdrdao and using that to produce bin/cues for our Gobe 2.0 disc (it does not say 2.0.1 on it, just 2.0) and both discs of Corum III. :) The second disc of Corum III is all audio. We'll upload them all to archive.org later tonight.

we've got another copy of Gobe Productive and also Corum III, which is a JRPG. If our Gobe is a different version than 2.01 we'll dump it, and also dump Corum III :)

On machines with an Egret or CUDA microcontroller for the ADB, the cmd-power and cmd-control-power keystroke is handled there, and at least the NMI keystroke can be enabled or disabled by talking to the Egret/CUDA. We would figure that's what the developer technote is talking about with the...

per the hardware devnotes the IIci indeed disables the NMI keystroke and requires a control panel to turn it back on. No idea where to find that control panel, of course. Maybe someone else can help there?

i *think* either some ROMs or some OS versions go about disabling the NMI key at the ADB controller level (where it is processed) but we don't remember where we read that...

I'm interested in the second run, definitely :)

Hi y'all, For SCSI hacking purposes, we picked up an Ancot Ultra2000 SCSI analyzer. It works alright, but it's got firmware 2.1 on it, and we know from searching that there exists a 2.2 upgrade. Unfortunately, Ancot itself underwent Total Existence Failure and all of their property is locked...

Oh _dear_ that's some incredibly cursed arcana. Wew.

sorry to double-post, but, some other random tidbits floated to the top of our mind just before we fell asleep - on a lot of UNIX systems, the kernel debugger is fairly likely to communicate via serial port. in emulation this is less of a problem because you can tell qemu to connect the serial...

qemu-system-ppc just doesn't do anything when you type nmi. we'd be upset too if it crashed the thing.

NB: we forget the exact key that maps into cmd-pwr. Might be Meta_R and not Super_R. unfortunately we can't find anything salient on Bitsavers. I can probably help if you get into the debugger though.

I dunno of any documentation for the kernel debugger itself, other than the fact that it exists, unfortunately. We would figure the A/UX kernel debugger to be broadly similar to other SysV kernel debuggers of the era, though. With qemu-system-ppc we know that typing nmi at the "qemu monitor...
