Im trying to fix a dodgy laptop - Looks like mosfet problem - Can anyone recommend a good forum for general electronics problems as this is not related to Apple products in any way
the 400 and 800k floppy drives used varying speeds that cant be replicated on the usb floppy
but I have ( only last night ) downloaded an 800k image of system 6.08, wrote it with transmac and my se booted from it - it comes up on the mac as an 800k disk
Again its something like stuffit - a...
no idea porta
something that really gets me is when you transfer something in a .sit to the mac - run stuffit on it and it wont work - then you try different versions of stuffit ....... i have spent hours trying to get my head around it - as far as i can see you need stuffit 1.51 all the way up...
I use a USB floppy drive on my PC and a small program called transmac. https://www.acutesystems.com/scrtm.htm
Transmac can format floppys ( 1.4 mb )
it can create images of mac floppies on your PC

i use it to quickly get software from the internet onto...

SubBattle was 3D ish ( sprites being scaled up and down ) but the graphics were very very basic. That Macintalk voice , the digitized sounds - truly loved this game , even thought it could crash at any time -
Does f/a18 run on a 68k Mac - I should of said that above , was looking for title...
Would like to hear of any 3D simulators people like to play on their Macs.
I was playing SubBattle Simulator on an SE back in the early 90's way before the PC was a thing.
This got me into all kinds of simulators.
So just wondering what simulators people used to like and hoping there might be...
I use beed tants because they are so much easier to solder on - I never liked those flat , rectangular tantalums because you cannot see the connection underneath.
If it was me i would take off all the tants again and clean up all the pads with some soldering brade - get rid of all the old...
