I just spent some time looking at diffs between the adb subsystem - there are definitely changes though its hard to point at anything specific. The ADB hardware of the Mac IIsi is specifically called out as a separate architecture to support in both versions. A vast majority of the changes in...

http://archive.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-archive/NetBSD-1.4/LAST_MINUTE Mentions http://archive.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-archive/NetBSD-1.4/CHANGES Mentions Those are the only two things that stand out to me.

I just checked versions 1.4 GENERICSBC 1.4.1 GENERICSBC 1.4.2 INSTALLSBC 1.4.3 INSTALLSBC 1.5.3 INSTALLSBC And the keyboard (adapter) doesn't seem to work with any of them. What's kind of amazing to me now is that somehow I picked the exact last version that works. I suppose the next step...

Also, I should mention I'm using RaSCSI to emulate two HDDs (and occasionally a CDROM drive). It too is booted and stable by this time (and worked fine using NetBSD 1.3.3).

They appear to be about the same. Also, I'm booting NetBSD from MacOS, so the Arduino is booted and running (and working in MacOS) before NetBSD starts.

v1.6.2 has the same issues as 6.1.2, 9.1, and latest-20201228.

And I had to double check in case I had gone crazy - here is a screen shot of the same machine but using the install-GENERICSBC.gz image from NetBSD 1.3.3. Note that it says Then I showed the keyboard working down where it's asking for a root fs device. Also note all the ncr5380 messages that...

First, here's the info on the adapter I'm using: https://github.com/Difegue/Chaotic-Realm/tree/master/adbduino I built that with an Arduino and I'm using that sketch unmodified. At least, as far as I can tell. It has been a while. :huh: I downloaded the 9.1 and latest-20201228 .gz...

I finally got some time to revisit this project. I upgraded MacOS to the full 7.5.3 version and grabbed the NetBSD 6.1.2 ISO (it is the most recent available here). After partitioning up a drive, the installer hangs at selecting the terminal type. It seems that my keyboard is not detected...

After getting my MacCon network card working great in MacOS 7, I went on to tackle other OS's. I have an installation of NetBSD 1.3.3 that boots and seemed stable back before I got the ethernet card working. Now that I have the card working, it kernel panics after a bit. Q1: Does anyone know...

Success! 8-) I found a Netgear GS105Ev2 managed switch and configured a port to 10baseT. I also had to move the MacCon's jumper _off_ to _enable_ link integrity, as you suggested. In this screen shot, it is configured at half-duplex, but it also works at full-duplex, at least for simple...

I found the crossover cable and plugged the Mac IIsi into a c1992 Compaq 486 with one of those venerable 3Com cards (3c50x something or other). Partial success! :D I was able to get a few packets received by the Mac by pinging from the Compaq to the Mac IIsi. It isn't reliable, and I got...

Well the jumper didn't seem to change the situation. I'll go and try all the various routers and switches again. I don't have any AUI-to-10BT adapter any more. I know I had one a long time ago but I think it didn't survive a move or three. Also... the "crossover" is not a crossover. So this is...

Oh crap. Did I miss that jumper? I actually checked twice. Ok well I'll try that. Derp.

I checked for a physical jumper, and there is not one. Yes I used a cross-over cable. Thouuughhh I better go check that cable. I haven't used it in ages and maybe I'm getting mixed up which one is my crossover.
