    "portable"/"slim" 6200/5200

    @François its likely that without a monitor connected to the normal db15 video out that mac detects all three sense lines as unconnected/floating so it makes the assumption no display is connected and doesn't enable the video out circuitry on the motherboard. if you have a mac db15 to VGA...

    "portable"/"slim" 6200/5200

    @noglin i think mostly the mirror cable probably just ignores sense ID bits and goes on whatever sense id is configured on the internal harness. at least that would make logical sense to me. connecting sense ID 0 to ground was just a easy way to test a widely supported res and refresh rate as at...

    Will RPi4 run OS9 in emulation

    i just had a read up on you thread on the build progress. you mention over there that about removing the hdmi port. it shouldnt be to hard to do if you can remove the solder from the four pins going through the pcb then either hot air or drag soldering the iron on the hdmi pins topside should...

    Will RPi4 run OS9 in emulation

    to compile Sheepshaver on raspberry pi see this thread about halfway down: https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11017 also see this guide for getting Qemu m68k and PPC running on a raspberry pi: https://biosrhythm.com/?p=2837 hopefully there's a bit of useful info there to point...

    Will RPi4 run OS9 in emulation

    you might find running mac os 7.5.5 or 8.1 using Qemu m68k (or even perhaps basiliskII) a better fit for a Pi4. 68k emulation runs pretty good on the Pi hardware. ive never really considered running PPC emulation viable on these ARM boards due to the single core performance. thought apparently...

    "portable"/"slim" 6200/5200

    @noglin i dont think the brightness and contrast controls would be needed as they are just so you can adjust those from the front panel buttons or in software depending on the machine.. id be interested what happens it you disconnect those two connections though from what you said each...

    "portable"/"slim" 6200/5200

    @noglin i would expect that your video out issues are due to the fact that these machines need the monitor ID pins set so they display the correct resolution/frequency. S19, S20, S20, S21 need to get wired up correctly to get the right signal. if you ground Sense 0 (Monitor ID 0, S20)to Ground...

    Performa 475 and MacOS ...

    no worries, It’s a later version of the SSCI/link driver that I made a standalone installer for. I wasn’t sure if it would work on non English system installs. I’m not sure why you had issues with large ftp transfers though. Regardless performance with a LC PDS card is going to much better...

    sd based scsi zip/jaz drive

    @mogs i dont think it would be to crazy firmware wise.. ive been pretty busy with life lately so i havent had much free time and to be fair im much better with hardware the writting C code. however i think the ZuluSCSI code already has alot of whats needed already there. the main thing at least...

    A friendly reminder that MacTCP performance is godawful - OpenTransport is nearly 3x faster

    not sure if ive messed up my testing but for me on SE/30 running vanilla 7.5.5 i get 160KB/s with MacTCP v2.1 with Open Transport (v1.1 according to get Info) i get 64KB/s after installing OT v1.3.1 i get 64KB/s worth pointing out that i use SpeedCopy extension so i haven no idea if that skews...

    sd based scsi zip/jaz drive

    from what i read it does allow hotplugging of a sd card. however in the case of a mac that would still require a bus rescan and will still pick the scsi id of whatever hdd images are on the sd card. whats needed is for the firmware itself to report to the host (a mac in this case) as a fixed...

    Struggling to remove SE/30 axial capacitors old leads - any tips?

    what works for me: if the caps had leaked at all i find that using a fiber brush pen on the solder joints before i apply fresh solder helps alot then i add fresh/extra solder before i either use some desolder brainf or my desolder gun sometimes for through hole parts it helps to used s hot...

    sd based scsi zip/jaz drive

    its something thats crossed my mind a lot over the last couple years (ive probably even mentioned it at times here too). to make a modern zip or jaz style sd scsi drive solution. basically a sd card scsi solution that has a fixed scsi id or better yet a set of jumpers like old scsi drives did to...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    thanks, i was able to get afppasswd working now. in fact the instructions you just gave make much more sense then the manual page ive used netatalk on an off over the years since either v2.0 or 2.1 and i definitely agree that the config files used to be full of bloat. i used to just delete them...
