@ArmorAlley It's a 50-pin device installed in a Fujitsu external case connected via a 50-pin Centronics to 25-pin cable to my Mac's internal SCSI bus. It is terminated. I've tried to both with an active inline terminator, and by using just the built in self-termination on the Fujitsu drive...

I found a possible lead on the Release 2.2 CD-ROM. "DLCC Legacy Software Catalog" from Daniel's Legacy Software Collection. It lists the Power Computing Release 2.2 CD-ROM. I sent Daniel and email. I hope he still has it.

According to LEM, Radius had a SCSI JackHammer build-to-order option for the System 100. Unfortunately I couldn't find a System 100 disc, only the 81/110.

Went through all MacAddict CDs from 1999 to 2001. Nothing. I suspect 3.2.6 will be on an OEM CD for one of the clones.

Well, I managed to re-discover the 3.2.3 firmware on the January 1998 Macworld CD-ROM. But that was after quite a few hours of searching. On to the MacAddict CDs. :P

I tacked it down to a Stuffit 7 installer. I compressed it, rebuilt my desktop, and everything is good again.

I'm currently downloading 1999 Macworld CD-ROM collection. Will hunt for 2000 Macworld CD-ROM collection, too. Search through them for JackHammer software. I'll take a look at MacAddict, too.

Thanks for looking anyway. You never know.

As @slomacuser already knows, someone found a 3.2.3 firmware on a German Macworld CD. It's intended for Targa 2000 users, but who knows. It might fix other issues as a side effect. I'm going to look around Pinnacle Micro related stuff. See if I can't find some CDs. I don't think it's out of...

@slomacuser Unfortunate, but also a relief to know that I'm not the only one. :) According to the manual, cmd-opt-j disables the card so you can better troubleshoot. Mine also freezes if I disable the card via the Control Panel. I then have to clear PRAM to get it to boot again, as it won't...

Hmm. Seems like a pretty useful Control Panel would be one that lets you choose the default icon bundles.

I already tried that. :( I wonder if there's a rogue installer somewhere.

I accidentally mounted a CD with an OS 8 style icon for a Stuffit installer, and it's infested my crispy clean System 7. Is there a way to force System 7 to use a specific icon bundle? I like older System 7 style Installer Maker icon.

@trag One of their PCCs does have the JackHammer software on it as an optional NuBus card installer, but it's never been uploaded anywhere. Frustratingly, "semvalidade2006" posted about his 7.5.3 Rev 2 PCC disc, but several people erroneously said it was the same as the regular 7.5.3 disc and...

@max1zzz Shouldn't be a problem. Someone's built a TTL to RGB adapter so you can put in custom TTL timings and output to HDMI. Adrian over at Adrian's Digital Basement successfully did it with a Macintosh Classic and other computers. I'm a bit excited about it because I believe it means you...
