@GeekDot I saw your update to this post on your site, congrats on getting a CacheDoubler! Any chance you could post some pictures of your board here? I'm interested in confirming the value of a missing capacitor (C1) I guessed on a replacement on mine and how your jumper block is configured...

This table shows which Apple NuBus video cards support the Portrait Display: http://myoldmac.net/FAQ/Mac-vid-mon-matrix.html

This is great! The warning dialog is a little thing but will be so glad to put this on my machines without PRAM batteries. :) Anyone know if there is something like his that can disable General Controls menu blinking and set the Mouse speed on boot? along with Force32 those would likely cross...

True, but you can get ~double the performance you get on 10 Mb/s. The question does remain if that is of much benefit for what you're doing with your old Mac. (its not really for me, just fun to play with) I did some testing awhile back on this, as to not clutter this thread...

I'd heard that 100Mbps Fast Ethernet was not the performance bump you'd think it was under classic Mac OS so I did some testing a while back to see what was what at least on a PCI Mac where 100Mbps Ethernet cards are not that hard to find. I used an AppleShare network speed testing tool I...

This should work in any Mac with a PCI slot: https://www.ebay.com/itm/183693476592 (I have one I've used in a 6500) Mac drivers here (I don't believe any of the Apple distributed Ethernet drivers (extensions) support this Ethernet chipset)...

I just found out about this company, Rome Tech Batteries, that makes new PRAM batteries for old computers, somewhat oddly (since they have ones for the 500 series, 1400, etc.) I don't see one for the 190/5300... I guess someone could ask them...

You're welcome. I have two more for you though :) It was bugging me that under the Version section Processor showed "undefined", I googled around it appears that Bookworm broke the way this was being queried under Buster. I found a different command that works on both...

I think this is the relevant section: It looks like it is trying to send a postscript job to the Imagewriter. Could likely be working (not that I know how you'd test!) # Function: Print Page (Send Real Print Job) print_page() { echo -e "${BRIGHT_CYAN}Sending Test Print to Available...

To enable the Ethernet port stats in the RPi Monitor homepage and statistics edit this file: sudo pico /etc/rpimonitor/template/network.conf Uncomment the config (remove the leading "#") from these lines: dynamic.10.name=net_received dynamic.10.source=/sys/class/net/eth0/statistics/rx_bytes...

This might be an odd question but thinking about this incredible project and my past experience replacing the IDE hard drive in a PowerBook 150 with a CF card got me thinking about the similarities. My understanding is Apple essentially implemented an IDE (ATA) controller on the 68030 bus but I...

Thank you so much for this! I have used the heck out of my MacIPRpi 5, it's essentially become the hub of all my retro computing activities on my home network since I set it up in 2021. Low power always on bridge machine/retro file server, print server, browser proxy, and even bench "PC" next to...

The Macintosh TV might appear very similar in specs to the Performa 550 but it's my understanding that they have very different logic board architectures. The Macintosh TV having more in common with the LC II, Color Classic and/or Performa 600 (16 bit data bus with lower RAM ceiling, 16MHz IO...

A Greenville/Canopus ADVC-55 would be nice for this, fairly compact, composite/s-video capture to Firewire DV out. No drivers required on your Mac. Unfortunately it looks like they aren't cheap when they come up on eBay... https://www.adc.ucsc.edu/tutorials/digital-video/advc-55
