Is this the one from jen[bunchofnumbers] on ebay? If so, they swore left and right on ebay that this board worked 100% fine (without proof) and then started having some sort of meltdown posting names of people who sent "lowball offers" onto a facebook group before getting booted. Wanted...

Honestly both Apple and Commodore should've conceeded to HP with their 68k line of workstations, and just ported their OS there. HP was killing it! Like the HP 9000/320 came out in 1985 and already had a 68020. And 1280x1024 8-bit graphics. And ethernet. And 1 MB RAM. Apple and Commodore...

As it turns out, I have one of these too! I bought a card at a flea market to try and flash with this firmware, and as it turns out, it's already a Mac card. Mine's showing up as an XRack SUA100. It's also got a VIA VT6421A instead of an L like the Mathey has. I can confirm it will boot under...

Honestly I’m disappointed to not see any ACARD benchmarks in this thread. The kids all fight about their Zulu vs Blue but it’s like arriving whether your Chrysler 200 or Nissan Altima are a better car. Can we get some benchmarks of a Ferrari instead of just a 300 credit score race?

When doing this, did you just flash the ROM on the board and solder in the missing jumper header? I've got an -04A here but haven't tested due to being tape firmware.

Heads up this *may* not be the best idea from a legal standpoint. A complete PSU will very very likely need to go through a bunch of safety/compliance checks to sell in many countries. UL/TUV is not cheap. You'd be opening yourself up to a lot of liability if one were to somehow fail and cause...

I've been using one for a while (a year or so? Idk it's been a while) and so far so good :) . I've rocked it on my Powerbook for a few events since USB mice are way more disposable than ADB at this point in time.

Finally back home! Had myself gone 3 of the last 4 weeks :(. Here's a link: https://fsck.technology/software/Apple/Dynamac/

Once I get home next week I can bring it back up. That web host is with the lord now, but I've got a full site backup still. I'll merge it into the newer-and-greater project :) .

It's very possible it's also just from a batch of chips that failed QC at the initial rated speed. It's not uncommon for chips to be binned lower when they fail to meet some spec or another (like the early 486 SXs that just had a bad FPU that disabled).

No, more that it's not really a thing in this day and age like it once was. It's super super easy to find alternative hosting if what you're doing is actively bankrupting you. I'm definitely not a fan of having single points of failure though. My stuff like fsck.technology have friends with...

In zoomer language, I'm definitely inclined to just respond "skill issue" if bandwidth is an issue. I've got a much, much larger site data wise (~1TB compressed) that moves 4-8 terabytes a month, no data cap. If you haven't managed to get out of bandwidth cap'd hosting like it's still 2005 on...

Have you tried just not burning a CD and instead using one of the various SCSI device emulators like a zulu, macsd or bluescsi? Just plop the image onto an SD card and be done with wriring disks.

I've actually noticed this issue too on my 9150. I just assumed it was the CD driver on the machine or some BS. I quit having high hopes for old Mac OS a long time ago. One thing worth noting for ISO files is there is an active bug over on Github related to read-only files. If your ISO is...

Here's a link with Spectrum/8 Series III v1.30 and Spectrum/24 PDQ, both my own dumps: https://fsck.technology/software/ROM%20Dumps/NUBUS%20Expansion%20Cards/

NeXT on SPARC has a big issue where there's almost no software for them. I did compile a bunch of freeware stuff for NeXT 3.3 SPARC but it's all still your average "90s utilities" and nothing significant to show off the platform. HPPA, m68k and i386 all got binaries compiled for all 3, but you...

A bit of a lazy thread - does anyone have the battery dimensions off a 125? There are two almost identical batteries in the form factor and I want to make sure I get the right one. Ones 2” and ones 2.5” wide. I’d just go measure the compartment but of course I left for work without remembering...

Unfortunately the size limitation is due to the LSI controller chip on the card, rather than limitations of the time. A bunch of other controllers such as the Dell PERC 5/i and 6/i have the same limitation due to using the same chipset.

I'd recommend going with ddrescue over straight dd. Not only does it provide a progress bar, it also does retries on bad sectors and makes a list of any parts of the disk it can't read. No need to deal with if and of either. ddrescue -d -c 400 -b 512 -r 3 /dev/whateverthedriveis os77.img os77.map

There are a couple ways to get around termination issues: 1.) Get 50 to 68 pin adapters, and slap those into your 50 pin devices and motherboard. Run a 68 cable. 2.) Get one of the adapters with both 50 and 68 pin connectors, and slap a 68 pin terminator on it. 3.) Certain Seagate and IBM SCA...
