    RGBtoHDMI for a SE/30 (settings from Plus and Classic 1 won't work)

    nice job! Say, I was reading in my newly acquired Macintosh Bible 3rd Edition that an SE/30 has color Quickdraw in it's ROM. I don't suppose there is any way to extract that color from the motherboard with the pi RGB2HDMI?

    TashTwenty: Single-Chip DCD (Hard Disk 20) Interface

    1. i added a 256 sector offset to the makeimg.py code which successfully created offset in the partition when written to the sd card. Made no difference, as you predicted. 2. not seeing lights blink even with no card, so these leds may not be connected in a way to communicate trouble codes. i...

    TashTwenty: Single-Chip DCD (Hard Disk 20) Interface

    1. sorry. I may have made this mistake at some previous point, but presently am using: sudo dd if=608_020M.img of=/dev/sda 2. comparing my sectors (sdb below) to caymac's sd card (sda below), his starting sector is 256 whereas mine is 1. perhaps this is the problem?

    TashTwenty: Single-Chip DCD (Hard Disk 20) Interface

    thanks for the response. FYI: Caymac also graciously helping me out. I sent him my .dsk image and resultant .img file and he's going to take a look. Answering your question: 1. python makeimg.py 608_hd20.img 608_020M.dsk - 2. for writing to the card, I have tried: a. raspberry pi disk...

    TashTwenty: Single-Chip DCD (Hard Disk 20) Interface

    hello, I purchased a tashtwenty budget from Caymac and it works fine with the sd card that was shipped with it on my 512ke. However, all of my attempts to create my own sd card using makeimg.py have been failures - none have been recognized by my mac even when booted from 6.0.8 floppy. I have...

    Wombat with a gamepad

    well, although the wombat see's my logitech wireless keyboard/trackpad, it doesn't recognize my usb joycon. And here's the reason (from discussion thread at https://www.bigmessowires.com/usb-wombat/#firmware Aug30,2020)

    Wombat with a gamepad

    Yes, I have seen some arduino keyboard projects out there. As I already own the Wombat (just opened the box), I was hoping someone had used it for a gamepad and their experience could give me a head start. I'll tinker with it and report back my results.

    Wombat with a gamepad

    did this ever get an answer? I believe the question was, "Can we use the USB Wombat to map a usb gamepad to ADB?"

    Powerbook 540c Resurrection

    that is totally cool! nice job on the homemade crossover cable. I have been diving into rascsi - I have 2 of them: 1 connected to my 520 and another connected to a Classic II. In addition to emulating multiple scsi devices, the raspberry pi's also emulate a daynaport scsi2ethernet...
