Very happy to count one of Vette's developers among us !
Vette was the first game I bought (Xmas 1991), a week after my Mac Classic... And my first encounter with a system error too :LOL:
I think I remember reading here or on another forum that some people had removed a resistor on this kind of adapter, which made things much more reliable. The problem is that in this case you'll lose the warranty...
It was a very popular manga/anime among the French-speaking population of Europe in the early 90s. Not as popular as Dragon Ball or Saint Seiya though.
It would be worthwhile trying a data recovery on the IIcx disk. With a bit of luck, the software might still be there.
As for the AS/400, I'll gladly leave that to others :). Microcomputers already take up enough space :ROFLMAO:
Wow, you guys found out very quickly what this card is. Thanks.
I can see that the SE PDS variant was mentioned here.
Just like you say, Melkhior: pretty useless without software and the minicomputer.
While digging out one of my IIcx this morning, I came across this NuBus board with a male DB15 port.
It reads "MAC II 5251 REV A" "P/N 613-14081" and appears to be from a company called "IDEAssociates INC".
Sadly, the HDD form this IIcx refuses to spin, so finding a clue from some driver...
I bought about twenty of the black and silver EEMB batteries (ER34615 in 2013) via eBay and to date have had no problems with them. Even if ten years is still too early to judge their reliability... I'm slightly off-topic, but I think the EEMB brand can indeed be trusted.
Funny, the last version was working flawlessly while this one crashes to desktop on launch without any error message.
Running on a MacMini Intel under Monterey 12.7 .
