    Concept: MacintoshX - Game like its 1991, compute like its 1986!

    Not exactly, the Macintosh needs more than 5V, especially if one uses an external floppy drive, but any changes that can turn a Genesis into a Macintosh are welcome

    Concept: MacintoshX - Game like its 1991, compute like its 1986!

    people have seen that a Macintosh is very marginally sped up with a 68010, but I think it would make up for the .2MHz difference between the genesis and Macintosh

    Concept: MacintoshX - Game like its 1991, compute like its 1986!

    I'm going to use as much of the Genesis as possible for what it's meant for. And the power supply will be used because if anyone wants to use an original 400/800k drive, all those voltages need to be present. Plus, I'm kind of giving the genesis super powers with the 68010, as people have noted...

    MegaMacs would be a cool name for it outside the US, yeah

    The X is to match the naming factor of the CDX and 32X, and a 68010 would make the Macintosh side run faster, and the genesis side crash less

    Concept: MacintoshX - Game like its 1991, compute like its 1986!

    That could be the case. Regardless, a Macintosh Plus and a Sega Genesis sharing a CPU sounds like a really cool idea to me, my idea was to halt the Genesis' 68000, and have its data lines and the Macintosh's data lines banked via an FPGA. The FPGA will use the bus request and bus grant lines to...

    Concept: MacintoshX - Game like its 1991, compute like its 1986!

    never said he was the first, but I am saying I'm the first to think about taking a Macintosh and a Sega Genesis and forcing them to share a CPU through an FPGA. But I wonder how the Calculator DA breaks with the 68010? It seemed fine in Sean's video, though maybe it's certain circumstances like...

    Well, Action Retro did put a 68010 in a 128K, so I assume it would work?

    Concept: MacintoshX - Game like its 1991, compute like its 1986!

    I've been developing a concept that combines the hardware legacy of the original Macintosh with the flexibility of the Sega Genesis. The goal is to create a cartridge-based add-on for the Genesis that effectively transforms it into a Macintosh Plus clone while still allowing for normal Genesis...

    iMac G5 three beeps on startup

    yeah then that means the internal memory went bad

    iMac G5 three beeps on startup

    stick probably went bad, get another stick to test with

    you can find some USB-C power adapters that can negotiate up to 20V 100W on amazon

    Rifa capacitor locations

    yes, replace them with Y or Y2 capacitors

    The "most powerful" 68000-only Mac?

    There's plenty of space for ROM and SCSI in A00000-B00000 and C00000-D00000, but shadowing them to where they normally would be would make it easier to make ROM and SCSI calls without breaking the system, unless the calls are rerouted

    PowerMac 7100 and Linux

    any way it can be recompiled for performas and powerbooks?
